Medication and Treatments
He anyone tried following the Mediterranean diet to help with inflammation? I am working with a dietitian through Nourish, and she is recommending me following it to help with my inflammation. Problem is, we love our beef and pork and she said I should limit that to once a week 😭

Psoriasis
Back in May I felt an abrupt pain in the inner aspect of my left heel. A throbbing pain. I didn't do anything except get out of the car. I thought I stepped on something but nope I didn't. It eventually went away & now it's back. I'm thinking it's related to PsA.

Mental and Emotional Health
Hey Bezzies! This was a much needed read for me this week. I’m benched from jogging again because of my right foot. My 2nd, 3rd, and 4th MTP joints are pretty angry. I feel like when I don’t jog at all I’m fine but when I get a taste of being able to do it kind of like I used to and then realize (again) that I can’t because my body is limited now.. I hop right back on the grief train. For anyone who feels similar! 🫶 https://www.bezzypsa.com/discover/mental-well-being-psa/health-how-to-navigate-ongoing-grief/?appD=psa_3&hideHeader=1&utm_medium=share

Has anyone purchased a water filter for their shower? What brand? My meds help with everything but a patch of scalp psoriasis and behind my ears. I have hard, pretty chlorinated water. Thanks for any suggestions.

Escape From PsA
So people asked for updates regarding the stain glass project. I’m a week behind because of a flare up last week. A few more weeks until it’s complete.
