3 ways to partner with your rheumatologist

  • Make your voice heard—be honest and candid about how your symptoms are impacting your life
  • Clearly define and share your treatment goals
  • Be sure to discuss treatment options and understand their benefits and risks

Setting a high bar

Deciding to change your treatment is never easy, but neither is putting up with PsA symptoms and the possibility of irreversible joint damage. 

How do you know if you’re on the right treatment for you?

For a fresh perspective, try asking yourself:

  • Am I still getting the relief I want?
  • Is it time to take a fresh look at my treatment plan with my doctor?
  • What’s holding me back from asking for other options?

If your PsA treatment isn't tackling your symptoms, it may be time to ask your rheumatologist if a change in treatment plan is in order.

It’s very important to talk to the doctors to say I’m not feeling as good as I’d like to

Reasons to see a rheumatologist

If you're still experiencing symptoms after a TNF blocker, both dermatologists and rheumatologists can help treat skin symptoms of PsA, but a rheumatologist can best help treat the joint symptoms of PsA, including pain, swelling, and stiffness. Because joint symptoms can start later in life, a rheumatologist may be the most effective partner for a long-term treatment plan.
