Well guess what Alan has. Psoriatic Arthritis. I mean PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS. It all fits. His finger was red and SWOLLEN. His toe was RED AND SWOLLEN. I googled images of Psoriatic Arthritis and there it was. Even Dr. Fred agrees. Althought there is no test, there is a marker for it. We will be referred to a rheumotologist who will evaluate him and then we will talk about those horrible drugs with those horrible side effects.

They are still not sure if it was cellulitis or if it was Psoriatic Arthritis which contributed to cellulitis. All I know is when I googled Images of PA, there was Alan's finger and toe.

One of the doctor on staff came over and said "oh, I know what this is,it's psoriatic arthritis". Alan has NEVER had this so I never knew.

Oh well. More to learn
