What Do You Wish You Knew About Living With Psoriasis Or Psoriatic Arthritis When You Were First Diagnosed?
I think for me it would have been to keep walking and enjoy swimming. Eating healthier would have been on the list too. Eat more fish less red meat, and less sugar.
I wish I knew that people can be really ugly and our healthcare team doesn't understand what we are experiencing. Sometimes I feel like they are learning with us. Or that we would always have pain, swelling, stiffness, and flakes and take medications. I wish someone had told me this would be a lifetime journey.

I wish I knew this was a lifelong illiness that would never go away.
I agree ..I may have had a small sense of hope that this disease could be cured or at least go away/into remission but now after 18 years of this- acceptance and management, I.e, staying on the move, eating right, sleeping , knowing your limits, and to be 💯 honest- being selfish - in a good way. We have make sure we are in good head and body states to SURVIVE / have any quality of life!! Be welll! Every day is a gift!!
