/in /by

As we learned in the last episode, psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease. It can impact more than just skin and joints. Too much inflammation from psoriatic arthritis can be associated with other symptoms such as fatigue. Over time, ongoing inflammation from PSA can cause irreversible joint damage. This podcast is sponsored by AbbVie. In this episode, the last of this two part series, we’ve brought back Julie, a contributor to psoriatic-arthritis.com who lives with psoriatic arthritis and rheumatologist Dr. Bakewell.

Psoriatic arthritis or PsA is a chronic inflammatory disease that attacks your joints on the inside and your skin on the outside. Symptoms include skin symptoms like red, scaly skin patches known as plaque psoriasis, and joint symptoms like joint pain and swelling. About one in three people with psoriasis may develop PsA, but psoriatic arthritis can impact more than just skin and joints. Too much inflammation can be associated with other symptoms like fatigue. This podcast is sponsored by AbbVie. In the first episode of this two-part podcast series, we’re talking to Julie, a contributor to psoriatic-arthritis.com and who lives with psoriatic arthritis, and Dr. Catherine Bakewell, a rheumatologist.
