" Hi There. I too have both. Psorarsis since 11 and the past 10 years arthritis has set in. But for the past 5 years I have taken Celadrin which can be purchased at Health food store. My lower back was so back had trouble getting out of bed. Now I roll out with little problem. In the winnter time the skin specialist prescribed me to take ultraviolet treatments at our local hospital and do this if we do not go to Arizona for the winter, I also take an additional Vit D 1000-2000mg daily which helps with skin and arthritis. So far I am not too bad can carry on my normal activities and know my limits. Hope this is helpful and sympathize with you. Stay in touch Have a good day..God Bless "
