Help! I have psoriatic arthritis and I'm flaring!

I really need some help. I'm going to lose my mind. I'm 45 and feel 75. My feet are so swollen, red, and sore I can barely walk. At this very moment, I'm sitting in the recliner with baggies of ice tied around my feet. I'm a nurse and will do my last 12 hour shift Monday night. I start a new job Thursday where I won't have to be on my feet so much. I was on Enbrel and it kept my symptoms under control, but I went off it because I'm so afraid of all the risks. I don't know if my new insurance will cover it and I need a rheumatologist. There is only one arthritis doctor anywhere near where I live, and he is so booked up I'll never get in to see him. I'm taking my limit of Motrin, and notice that my feet and legs are swelling at the end of the day. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
