Disability stats?

[millerrs]

There were two statistics quoted by one of the workshop speakers at the conference. Can someone please clarify if I have these correct and the source?

1. Psoriasis is the second most physically disfiguring disease.
2. Psoriasis is the third most emotionally debilitating disease.

I really enjoyed meeting everyone at the conference. PJ/Bella/Rhonda/Allie/DanJ - The Martinis are on me next time!

Thanks!

Can't help you on the stats but I can advise that both of those are relative terms..."physically disfiguring" and "emotionally debilitating." Seems you can't call one disease more or less emotionally debilitating. I'm not sure this disease effects me more or less than crohns disease would or MS....etc.....

i think Psoriatic Arthritis would fit number 1 than regular psoriasis?
