Fun fact of the day: Turns out what I have is psoriatic arthritis, not rheumatoid. Those patches on my elbows that I just thought were dry skin are actually psoriasis. The immune system, it is basically the worst.

This does explain why my joint pain isn't symmetrical, but it raises questions about my blood tests. Sigh.

Will knowing what it is help treat it better? As much as you can treat arthritis... :(

I'm getting the same treatment as before, it mainly just changes how I think about my illness.
