Stacy noted: "As the spokesperson for PATH, I hope to inspire people to live life with a positive attitude. I understand the challenges of living with a chronic condition -- including social stigmas and the impact physical symptoms can have on self esteem. I'm encouraging people to be empowered --- to do all they can to take control of their health and live every day to the fullest."

About Psoriatic Arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic (lifelong) inflammatory disease that can cause pain, stiffness and swelling in and around the joints. Psoriatic arthritis is related to psoriasis, a chronic disease that can cause dry, red, scaly patches on the skin. Psoriatic arthritis can result in irreversible damage to the joints and can cause permanent disability; however, early diagnosis and treatment have been shown to prevent this joint damage. In most cases, people with psoriatic arthritis develop psoriasis first, but some people develop the arthritis before they notice psoriatic lesions on the skin.
