Interesting. However, PsA tends to affect the OUTSIDE of the joints at the connection points of the tendons, ligaments and cartilage. Entheses are on the inside of the joint. Furthermore, PsA tends to be asymmetrical, not symmetrical like you describe. Entheses only and symmetrical is typically considered an RA disease. However, it is not the diagnosis that matters, but the CAUSES of the diagnosis. You can easily have more than one autoimmune diagnosis. Causes are typically diet, environmental toxins, prior severe illnesses like strep throat, mononucleosis and pneumonia, and stress along with adverse childhood events as seemingly minor as bullying (which is actually quite traumatic). Determine the causes, get rid of those or at least mitigate them, then you can begin to restore your quality of life. A functional medicine practitioner is who you want to use to help with this. Conventional medicine Dr's do not treat causes or even help you figure those out, they only try to treat symptoms. Their treatments typically fail because the causes keep mounting up until nothing helps but morphine and that's a very very hard substance to get these days. Reach out anytime. Yours in better health P 😌 🙏
