Distress often experienced in patients with psoriatic arthritis

[Fred]

This probably isn't going to sound right but

Why on earth do/did we need a study to highlight the bleeding obvious.

Well one could say that any study that keeps psoriasis in the limelight is good news.

As people with the problem, we know what it feels like but if it helps educate those treating us then I'm all for it.  

We all need to learn and we all need teaching, the hospital I use is a training hospital and by my own experience I would say 90% of those in training will be reading this sort of stuff. Those are the people that will be treating us in the future.
