Child, I'm sorry things are still difficult. What is the expected timeline for a full recovery from surgery?
Cake, I am so sorry you suffer from Lupus. Lupus can be so very devastating. Please take care.
~Christina and Spondi, I deal with some skin psoriasis (and eczema). I can get by with various prescription creams and methotrexate also clears the worst of the skin issues, in my case.
The psoriatic arthritis is extremely painful. I have it throughout my body; however, my feet and ankles are the most painful. I am awake now because my feet and ankles feel like they've been crushed with repeated blows from a sledge hammer. Eventually, the methotrexate should overcome the process and the pain (It has before). If it fails, I have to move to biologics.
May we all experience Peace, Comfort and Joy!
