👩‍👧 How does psoriasis affect children and their families? 💭

The International Psoriasis Council (IPC) recently released a major review looking at what life is really like for children living with psoriasis, and their families too. 💬

It found that psoriasis can affect so much more than just skin health. Many children experience itching, pain, and even sleep problems. Some face stigma or bullying at school, while parents often feel emotional and financial strain. ❤️‍🩹

The review, which looked at 64 different studies, shows how important it is to care for the whole person, not just the visible symptoms. Every child and family deserves support that helps them feel confident, included, and well cared for. 🌈

🌙✨ As the evenings get longer and colder this November, many of us with psoriatic disease find sleep even more elusive. 😴💤

Did you know that inflammation from your immune system can interfere with your sleep cycles? Those cytokines (like TNF‑α) can make sleep light and fragmented, adding to fatigue and discomfort. 🔬🔥

But here are some cosy, friendly tips to help you get better rest this season:

🛏️ Keep a relaxing bedtime routine and create a calming space.
❄️ Keep your bedroom cool and comfy, perfect for chilly November nights.
💆‍♀️ Manage pain with your healthcare provider’s help, less discomfort, better sleep.
🧘‍♂️ Practice mindfulness or gentle activities to quiet your mind.
💊 Follow your treatment plan to help reduce inflammation and boost your sleep quality.

Better sleep can help you feel stronger and more energised to enjoy the season. 🍁💪 Remember, small steps make a big difference.

Stay warm and rest well! ❤️🌟

Keep talking to your doctor about heart checks. Keep moving, eat well, and follow your psoriasis treatment. New blood tests like GlycA might help spot risks early.

Psoriasis is a whole-body thing. Take small steps to protect your heart and skin. 💙

✨ Did you know? ✨

Treating psoriasis with biologic medicines can help protect your joints! 💪🦵

A recent study found that people with severe psoriasis who used TNF-alpha blockers had about half the risk of getting psoriatic arthritis (PsA) compared to those who had light therapy. 🌈

Early treatment might mean less pain and fewer joint problems in the future. 👍

Always talk to your doctor about which option is right for you! 💬👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disease that can lead to inflammation throughout the body, including the joints.
It’s not “just a rash.” It can’t be “cured with lotion.” It’s not the result of poor hygiene. It’s time to stop the misinformation and start spreading truth.
Help us spread awareness. One share could educate someone who really needs to understand.
