When it comes to living with psoriatic arthritis, unless you have another chronic health condition, it may be hard for others to understand.
What is 1 thing only another person with PsA would understand?

One thing that a person with PsA would agree is that diet, sleep and anxiety play a tremendous role in how productive we are, learning to listen to our bodies has helped me have more good days than bad.

Hi
If you're interested, we do have a couple of articles on diet and PsA. The first looks at the role of diet and nutrition in PsA: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/psa-affects-health/food-nutrition-diet-link and the second looks at a few diets that may be able to help us manage our PsA: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/diet-help There's also an interesting forum discussion on diet and PsA: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/forums/diet I hope these are helpful. Have you had PsA for long? And are you treating it with anything at the moment? Warmly, -Catherine, Community Moderator

Fatigue is a constant 24/7 battle. No one but a psoriatic disease sufferer would understand

One thing that someone would not understand who doesn’t have PsA, is what you deal with on a daily bases. The pain & side effects from the medication you take to treat it. Not a lot of energy and fatigue just wanting to sleep in hopes it will disappear when you wake up!
