Coping With Psoriatic Arthritis from Mary PsA on Vimeo.
The images in this video document the first year of my life after being diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis. The tone of the music and images fits with the tone of most of that year. It probably looks very familiar to anyone else who has been through it too. Thankfully it ends on a better note: making moves toward a less painful life via exercise and modern medicine. It may not seem like a much happier turn of events if you've never lived with this disease, but if you've experienced successful treatment with a biologic medicine, you know how life changing it can be. The accomplishment of exercising is no small matter either, even if you're a twenty-something exercising with the elderly. I rock those 3 pound weights, thank you very much.
