Welcome to the Psoriasisterhood!

Psoriasis can have a far-reaching impact, physically in terms of both the affected skin and the inflammation affecting other parts of your body, as well the emotional and mental toll. In turn, this may have a negative effect on many aspects of daily life, from socialising and work life to relationships and general wellbeing.

The impact of living with psoriasis is also likely to change throughout different stages of life. For example, psoriasis can fluctuate with hormonal changes, and with each phase of the reproductive journey – from puberty, to any pregnancies a woman may have, to menopause.

This guide is intended to provide you with further information to support each stage of this journey.

Finding a care plan which works for you is not just about reducing your symptoms but also supporting you in all aspects of how psoriasis affects you and how it might impact your plans for the future. It is important to remember that what works best for you right now might change over time with your circumstances.

Since no one knows you better than you, being actively involved in the decision making around your disease management and support, will ensure your unique needs are being met. Psoriasisterhood aims to provide you with the relevant information and tools to help you feel empowered to talk openly about what matters to you, what works best for you and communicate effectively with your healthcare teams.
