Watch Clyde help people get specific about symptoms.
Every symptom matters.
Psoriatic arthritis symptoms can be unpredictable. Doctors want to hear it all, so they know the best way to help. You need to feel better, so don’t hold back. It’s not complaining, it’s self-advocacy.
Tell the full story.
Even if you feel ok now, you should still tell your doctor about the times you didn't. You and your doctor are partners. Sharing every symptom helps them find out what options may be appropriate for you.
