PsA Action Month

About 1 in 3 people with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis.

In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need PsA Action Month. We’d have cures or, at the very least, everyone would have access to effective treatments at affordable prices. If you live with PsA – the pain, fatigue, and for some, the permanent damage – it’s all incredibly unfair.

Luckily, we do have each other, and anyone with psoriatic disease has NPF. Psoriatic disease can be very isolating, but PsA Action Month is one of our annual reminders that this vibrant, inclusive community is here to make sure you are not alone.
