Keep track of your progress
It can be tricky to see how much things change over time if you haven’t kept a record. Think about how you were feeling two weeks ago. Do you remember what your mood was like, if there was anything you felt you couldn’t do because of your Pso (psoriasis) symptoms, how many lesions you had and where they were? Having this information and more might help your healthcare professional see how you’re doing, and whether anything, including your treatment, might need to change.[1]
