Hurty Gertie

Or folding some laundry. Or joining this site … I wonder if they have a Psoriatic Arthritis group? Wait, they have a nice privacy policy, but I’m blogging anon for a LOT of reasons. Argh.

I really should scrounge around for more psoriatic arthritis blogs, listening to my friends talk about rheumatoid arthritis isn’t as useful as finding someone with psoriatic arthritis might be.

A quick search led me to a few new reads:

http://understanding-psa.blogspot.com/ (updated every so often)

http://www.everydayhealth.com/blog/christa-life-with-psoriasis/ (last post in 2008)

http://arthritis.about.com/b/ (general health and arthritis blog)

http://talk.nhs.uk/blogs/arthritis/default.aspx (interesting random look at various kinds of arthritis patients in a managed health care environment)

Then again, when you see most of my post are whines about how bad I’m feeling, I’m not surprised there are no fascinating blogs out here. Mine fascinates me only when I’m not bored of my own self.

Most everything else included spam blogs (that just skim keywords off of one place and make them into their own ad-ridden pages) or news articles or stop talking about how learning about rheumatoid arthritis isn’t as useful as learning about psoriatic arthritis and just listen. :)

Did find these, though:

And it reminds me I must get officially someone to look at my scalp re: psoriasis. I’ve never had an official diagnosis, just rheumatologists looking at my dandruff and calling it psoriasis. I’ve got the internets, people. I must be really lucky that it’s so mild and only on my scalp, eyebrows, and neck (and a little bit on my arm).
