Psoriasis is a common auto-immune condition – and some patients also develop a form of arthritis that can be debilitating.
Psoriasis is a common auto-immune condition – and some patients also develop a form of arthritis that can be debilitating.
That’s the case for Maya Woronicz, a Timmins mother and a mindset coach for women who is now sharing her story of persevering through pain.
“All the doctors were like, ‘We don’t know what to do,’” Woronicz said.
She felt like her joints were going to explode and could not find out why.
Her symptoms arose while pregnant with her four-year-old daughter and the condition brought life to a halt.
“Excruciating pain,” Woronicz said.
“I couldn't walk, I couldn't do basic things like make myself food. I had to have someone care for me 24/7and nobody knew for five months what was wrong.”
