They check my skin, nails and scalp and sometimes ask if I have any joint pain, but never peruse it.
So anything to standardise diagnosis must be a plus, in my opinion
Yes they usually wait for you to start complaining about the pain, but knowing what was coming would help. Having psoriasis is bad enough but psoriatic arthritis is much worse, give me flakes on the chair any day over being unable to move.
So come on dermatologists, check us out for psoriatic arthritis whilst we are there.
