Seronegative arthritis is an umbrella term for several forms of arthritis that resemble rheumatoid arthritis, but without the presence of rheumatoid factor or RF-factor. In addition, this form of arthritis typically affects different joints from rheumatoid arthritis; rheumatoid arthritis usually affects smaller joints in the hands, feet, ankes and wrists, while seronegative arthritis tends to affect larger joints, including the spinal column.

The presence of this form of arthritis can be difficult to diagnose for different reasons, but mainly because of the similarity of symptoms with rheumatoid arthritis. Correct diagnosis and identification of the specific form of seronegative arthritis is necessary, however, in order to get proper treatment of the disease.

Arthritis is a common condition typically diagnosed in older people. However it is also a common misconception that arthritis affects only people of advanced years.

Of the more than one hundred different types of arthritis, there are two forms that can affect those of any age, rheumatoid arthritis, and seronegative arthritis. Both groups exhibit similar symptoms, including the typical arthritis symptoms of joint pain, stiffness and inflammation, and both also affect the other organs of the body.

Pustular psoriasis is an uncommon form of psoriasis. Psoriasis is a common skin disease that affects the life cycle of skin cells. Generalised pustular psoriasis is a rare form of psoriasis, which presents as widespread pustules on a background of red and tender skin. Pustular psoriasis is uncommon in the United States. Pustular psoriasis affects all races. The average age of those affected is 50 but the range is wide and rarely it can affect children. Generalized pustular psoriasis is often triggered by stopping topical or oral steroids. Oral steroids in psoriasis patients are actually dangerous. They do clear up the psoriasis while the patient is taking them, but after the patient stops, the psoriasis often comes back even worse.

People with pustular psoriasis have clearly defined, raised bumps on the skin that are filled with pus (pustules). The skin under and around these bumps is red. Large portions of your skin may redden.

Arthritis refers to a group of medical conditions that are characterized by pain and inflammation of the joints. It is an incapacitating disease and can make a person unable to perform his or her normal daily activities. Arthritis has been found to be one of the main contributing factors of disability. There are many different types of arthritis and the most commonly found ones include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, juvenile arthritis, reactive arthritis, gout, systemic lupus erythematous, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and scleroderma.

Arthritis is a chronic medical condition with symptoms of pain, swelling, diminished range of motion of the affected joint, skin redness, and stiffness of the joint. This inflammatory medical condition is mainly caused due to the damage and wearing away of the joint cartilage. It seems that this disease is more common among women than men. Likewise, obese and elderly people and those with a family history of arthritis have higher chances of getting this disease. If you have a prior injury to any of your joints, you are at higher risk of developing arthritis.

Question by : Why do I feel so tired/lethargic?
I am not satisfied with how I feel right now, but not sure what to do about it. I have both Rheumatoid and Psoriatic Arthritis, and Panic Disorder. I live in Dayton Ohio, and there are not many good doctors in my area, at least none that I have found yet. I had to pretty much self diagnose every thing I have, before I could get a doctor to finally listen enough to me to do a blood test to find that I was right. I still feel in my heart that something is not right. I don’t know if it could be depression, but really I am a fairy happy girl. I am 31, with four kids and I don’t feel like I have enough energy to do the things I want and need to do. I just drag through the days, doing what I have to do, but tired and sore the whole time, I feel like my enthusiasm just isn’t there. I used to really enjoy cleaning and taking care of my home, but I am just always so tired, it’s hard to want to get up. I want to find a good local doctor that can listen to me enough to care and understand that something else is going on. Or that if it is the arthritis causing me to feel this way, I need a treatment plan that works. I want to feel like I used to so bad. I don’t really know what to do next. I have told all of my doctors how I feel, and how painful things are for me, but nothing is getting done. I guess I am asking for any basic suggestions, advice, etc. I know that I can’t keep going on this way, I want to fully enjoy my life, especially while my kids are young. They are growing up so fast, I want to feel good enough to go out and play with them. Thanks for reading and listening, it felt good just to get things off of my chest.
