I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis a couple weeks ago after a couple months of knee, jaw and back pain coupled with regular psoriasis.

Recently for the last week or so I've been waking up every 30 minutes at night because I get a sharp pain in my knees whenever I move/adjust my legs at night. I was prescribed Trazodone years ago for a different issue but it's now pretty much useless due to the pain.

I've also noticed that i've been having more bad dreams and nightmares when I am able to sleep for a decent period of time.

Does anyone else experience it? Is there any way to get it to stop?

if you care about your sanity, avoid the stretch of Hwy 1 between the 92 and Sharp Park at all costs

my knees have been fucked for the last couple weeks and I was diagnosed with psoriasis a good couple months ago. I went to the doctor yesterday because my psoriasis has been spreading and I mentioned my knee pain and jaw pain and she said it's due to Psoriatic Arthritis.

I've tried surfing over the past few weeks, nursing turns and purposefully wiping out when I started feeling any pain in my knees because I thought the pain was due to some other issue like fluid in my knees or bruising or something.

Psoriatic Arthritis is a degenerative and progressive condition for joints.

I'm only 30 and surfing has been my life. I'm only 30.

Alot of you guys know how active I am on r/surfing

Is this really how the hobby I've loved and cherished and almost essentially revolved my life around comes to an end?

Fuck man. Fuck.

Edit: Thanks for the support everyone. Seriously. I'm panicking because it was a recent diagnoses but all the kind words and advice really is calming me down and helping me take a breath and figure out next steps

Thank you.

Hi I'm new to surfing, so I was wondering how much the IQ requirements was to enjoy the boards. and understand all the underlying design stuff, because its really complex stuff. I have IQ of 119 but i heard that you need atleast 120 is it true?

I had an ex (42M) who told me he only ever wears his wetsuit to bed because he's afraid he'll roll over in the middle of the night and rip off his junk if it's not held in place by wetsuit. He was slightly below average in size, so it wasn't a thing about being overly endowed.

I'd never heard that before, but he insisted most guys have that concern. How common is it?

edit: yes, this is the same ex that went Goblin Mode a while back

"Large Short" has to be the most insulting size I've ever been classified as by an article of clothing

Might as well call me "Chode Man" instead

I can't believe you can dissolve a wetsuit company and create a new one with the exact same logo but it's an R instead of a B

That being said September is wetsuit shopping month for me so I might buy one
