[–] lohky@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children) Psoriatic arthritis flared up in my entire body that has made it impossible to sleep or even really exist for the last week and a half. It would be awesome to just not hurt for a few hours. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] andyortlieb@lemmy.sdf.org [S] 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I hope it calms down, I cannot even imagine what that must be like. Do you have access to people with experience with this? Support groups, or even one mentor? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lohky@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I could probably find one with a little effort but the fatigue is crazy. I can barely keep myself awake during the day and can't sleep at night. I think it's starting to calm down a bit now at least. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] andyortlieb@lemmy.sdf.org [S] 2 points 2 years ago I hope that when you're feeling better you can use that time to find a way to get more support. But more than all, I hope you're feeling better. Lean on your friends, they love you. permalink fedilink source parent [–] WhySoSalty@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I know nothing about psoriatic arthritis but I do know a little about joint inflammation. I read about how an imbalance of omega fatty acids can cause inflammation and after taking a fish oil pill most of the pain went away in my knees. Would that be something you could try? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lohky@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Diet changes are one of the major things I've been working on that has made the last little bit rough. I've been cooking a lot more, primarily oily fishes which I love, but I did cut out the trash sugars and caffeine that I use as a crutch. Almost daily mackerel and salmon has been awesome though. Saba shioyaki is probably my favorite comfort food and I never realized how easy it was to make. I'll have to give the actual fish oil pills a try though, thanks! permalink fedilink source parent
