Rashes Throughout Body, Body Pain, Puffy Eyes. Suffering From Psoriatic Arthritis. Taking Stella Shots. Advice?

I have been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis. I started taking Stella shots every about 3 months ago. I have been breaking out with a rash in various places, my hands fall asleep and I ache all over. Today I have been completely drained and slept most of the day. I am usually extremely active and able to ignore the soreness. My eyes are also puffy and blurry.

Hi,

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease charactrised by silvery scaly plaques.

Joints might be involved in psoriasis, as you have.

Mental and physical stress may exacerbate , so you avoid tension and worries.

Methotraxate 15 mg in devided dose in a week may be helpful.

Aceclofenace may reduce arthralgia.

In some patients of psoriatic arthritis, hydroxychloroquin might be helpful.

You must consult dermatologist for proper treatment.

I think, you may be improved.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
