Patient Toolkit Introduction
Welcome to the RELIEF Patient Toolkit, a resource center for patients who have been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Finding accurate, up-to-date information about psoriatic arthritis is a real concern and challenge for many patients. Better outcomes are achieved when patients are empowered to advocate for themselves and have the background knowledge to fully participate in treatment decisions. This toolkit provides links with information about current treatment options, advice and tips on living with PsA, and answers to frequently asked questions.
