On the show today, I welcome 'First mover in Audio & Podcasts" Sarah Cotenoff, Former co-founder of Podsights — and, more importantly — my former intern at The Stupid Cancer Show. Losing your father to cancer as a teenager is never a good thing. But the forced maturity it gives you can ultimately come in handy if and when more crap you didn't expect happens upon you. In Sarah's case, it was — after a comedic series of misdiagnoses — Psoriatic arthritis, a condition she has had to manage and learn to live with for over a decade. Our origin story as Intern/Boss is one for the ages because it involves a combination of Zach Efron, Perez Hilton, and an inherent inquisitive moxie that gave every life to the up-and-coming Stupid Cancer broadcast footprint. Among other "Wayback Machine" things we talk about, there's a more severe narrative about addiction, self-awareness, resiliency, managing mental health issues, and taking control of your life when it seems no one has their hands on the wheel. So, without further ado, enjoy The Chutzpah Show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When Angela was 25, she was used to physically pushing her body. She was a runner who had always been healthy, besides being suspiciously hypermobile. Then one day at the gym she suddenly became unusually exhausted, and her legs felt like they were on fire. This would kick off a years-long diagnostic odyssey that would see Angela diagnosed with several chronic illness including psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, small fiber neuropathy, hypermobility and more. That burning in her legs was nerve pain caused by small fiber neuropathy. Discussing this disease, Angela says she has a "special place in my heart for that little monster, it helped me get diagnosed with everything else." In this episode of the Major Pain podcast, Angela educates us on psoriatic disease (psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis) while also recounting her diagnostic journey. The quest to diagnose her multiple chronic symptoms involved horrific medical gaslighting, misdiagnoses and mistreatment. But it also highlights the wonder of finding the right doctor, when she found a neurologist willing to also order rheumatology labs when Angela's own rheumatologist refused to do so. Throughout this process Angela felt internal and external pressure to hide her pain and continue to push through. She discusses the importance of being kind to yourself, self-advocacy and seeking community around chronic illness. PlayWatch the episode on YouTube, or listen on all major podcasting platforms.

If you have psoriasis, you have a 30% chance of developing psoriatic arthritis symptoms!This type of psoriasis is notoriously difficult to diagnose because, unlike rheumatoid arthritis, there are no blood tests to easily confirm it.Psoriatic arthritis can be triggered at any age, but its onset is most commonly between 35 and 55 years old. One of the early signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis is joint pain that gets worse over time until the joints become swollen and inflamed.It might surprise you, but diet and medication can both trigger psoriatic arthritis, as well as GI tract microbiome imbalances (yes, this includes the mouth microbiome!)Joining me to talk all about signs of psoriatic arthritis is Dr. Jenny Bennett, a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, and founder of Aria Integrative Medicine, an autoimmune specialty clinic in Seattle, WA. She utilizes treatments from both Eastern and Western medical practices to find the best approach for treating autoimmune diseases.Dr. Bennett treats a wide variety of conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' Disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma.In This Episode:Psoriatic arthritis: What is it + what are early signs/symptoms?Joints commonly impacted by psoriatic arthritisPsoriasis + psoriatic arthritis triggers (Don't ignore these!)Stages of psoriatic arthritis + getting diagnosed (before too much damage is done)Liver-Psoriatic arthritis connectionGut triggers of psoriatic arthritis symptomsTreatment of psoriatic arthritisIf you take methotrexate, get THIS testedExercise + other lifestyle interventions for psoriatic arthritisPros + cons of using a biologic medication for psoriatic arthritisQuotes“There are a number of other medications that can sometimes impact liver function and can ultimately lead to… psoriatic arthritis.
