Psoriatic arthritis and the Coronavirus - How are you reacting to the pandemic?

@hawksofchi Hi, wow I'm sorry they took you off your meds, that must be hard! Personally I just trying to stay positive. I put happy tunes on and just move around just to keep my joints moving. I started a jigsaw as well. And word search books to keep my mind going. I try to take each day as it comes. I guess for you, maybe try to really focus on your triggers? Try to keep your stress down and try to focus an anti-inflammatory diet. Have you been able to get through your doctor? Maybe he or she can write you a script over the phone so you can get back on your medications?

Stay safe!

@Courtney_J Hi, right now everything is doing ok for me. I'm keeping my self busy and trying to keep my spirits up. I've been having a little pain but nothing to worry about really. I think in normal times I would take the time to call my doctor but right now everything is still so complicated and stressful that I don't want to bother him with something that's not life-ending. 

My state is slowly starting to open things up again but I think I'll try to stay home a bit longer just in case. I've got my family around to help me so I'm lucky in that sense. Hope everyone is ok and staying safe!

I am doing ok but eating too much junk so back to a good inflammation reducing diet for me. I just had arthroscopic surgery on my knee two weeks ago so not ready for exercise yet. My rheumatologist told me during a telehealth visit that he did not want me traveling with my job or on planes for a long time. I’m good with that and so is my employer. Enjoying my time at home and not running the roads like I used to. I have had a few flare ups but focusing on positive things and trying to stay as healthy as possible. The hubs is doing all of the grocery shopping and errands. I haven’t been anywhere but to doc and to get surgery since March.
