Can Psoriatic Enthesopathy, That Causes Muscle Weakness, Pain And Fatigue, Cease To Exist After A While?
I have been diagnosed with a condition called psoriatic enthesopathy. All of my joints are affected. My body feels generally weak and I have lost a lot of condition - muscles etc. I am rarely in serious pain but fatigue is an issue. Can I expect the condition to go at some stage (i.e. does it have a life span/life cycle)?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this psoariasis and all its complications. Treatment of this condition consist in giving drugs that suppress the symptoms and activity of this disease. We cannot really guarantee that it would completely go away but treatment would suppress it to stop manifesting. at times, it recurs and needs to be treated again. Also, it may require that you be on some form of maintenance therapy to stay diseases free. Only treatment monitoring and evaluation can answer this question fully.
I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
