Hi everyone,
How are you today? 
How are you managing your psoriasis now? Is it more complicated this time of year? Have you returned to a "normal life" after these few months of lockdown? Have you noticed any flares or changes in your psoriasis post-lockdown?
Feel free to share! We are all here to help each other!
Take care,
Courtney

Hello everyone,
Since psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease, you are probably taking anti-inflammatory medications (corticosteroids, etc.), immunosuppressants (methotrexate) or biologics (Humira, Cosentyx, etc.). These treatments can weaken your immune defenses, however it is recommended not to stop or change them without the advice of your doctor!
Have you read the recommendations dedicated to patients with chronic conditions such as inflammatory diseases? Has your doctor warned you or reassured you about your treatments? Has he or she given you the procedure to follow in the event of coronavirus symptoms? Do you feel sufficiently informed as a patient?
How are you handling the social distancing and stay-at-home measures? Does this pose major difficulties for you in following your treatment, for your daily life with the disease? Feel free to share the difficulties you have to overcome, as well as ways to alleviate them as comments to this discussion!
