"Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory form of arthritis associated with psoriasis that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness of the peripheral joints as well as skin and nail problems. Psoriatic Arthritis: The Facts is the first book dedicated to bringing the facts about this often debilitating condition to the general public. It is intended primarily for patients with psoriatic arthritis, their relatives and caregivers, but it will also be of interest to health care professionals who encounter patients with psoriatic arthritis."--Jacket
