Diagnosis and lack of knowledge

2 Replies

To be honest, when I had been diagnosed with Psoriasis 11 years ago, I was so confident and busy that I had not given it enough attention. Actually the doctors haven’t told me anything about the disease and the future. So, unfortunately, it didn’t affect my confidence at all and now I’m paying the price by having arthritis signs and symptoms. Why’s that? Because I had psoriasis in my feet so it was easy to hide it. Lucky? Not really.

You are not alone. I was relatively happy with mine for 40 years then wham! I feel such a fool for not educating myself earlier. And my doctors were happy to let me tootle along.
