In this Arthritis At Home, we are sharing this year’s #CRArthritis with Dr. Lihi Eder, a Clinician-scientist at Women’s College Hospital Research Institute and Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto, Canada. She discusses the interaction between perimenopause and psoriatic arthritis, and how overlapping symptoms can appear as early as 5-7 years ahead of menopause.
Dr. Eder points to the need for patients, clinicians, and researchers to educate themselves on common symptoms and possible treatment options in order to make informed decisions.
