The surface signs of psoriasis can be subtle and some patients are unaware they have psoriasis.
There are several screening questions that help point to the diagnosis.
Do you have heel pain or Achilles tendonitis.
Are your fingers or toes swollen or painful.
Do you have morning stiffness that gets better
after moving.
Swollen or achy joints may not be the same on both
sides of your body.
Fatigue and brain fog on occasion.
Enthesitis involves tendons attachments with muscles.
Neck and back soreness.
Itchy scalp and ears or pits on the nails.
Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are systemic disorders
that are aggravated by mechanical wear and overuse.
