Hello and welcome to Spondycast.

I'm your host, Vince Gagliardi.

In today's episode, as part of our psoriatic arthritis series, rheumatologist Janki Trivedi, MD, explains why fatigue is so common in PSA and how inflammation, pain, disrupted sleep, and other health conditions may contribute.

She also discusses why fatigue can continue even when PSA is well-controlled, when persistent fatigue should be evaluated, and practical ways to improve sleep, balance activity and rest, and manage energy throughout the day.
