Hardcore Psoriasis Intro

[Caroline]

As far as I know, and what I have seen and read in practice, Psoriasis is defined as touching the skin, while psoriatic arthritis is touching joints (mostly the small ones) and has a tendency to also touch the tendons.
Not more, at least then it is not called Psoriasis anymore.

Absolutely there are links between a lot of auto immune diseases. I did not read yet that Crohns sufferers do have a higher percentage of Psoriasis also.
But that does not directly mean it is also the other way around, that is that there is a higher incidence of Crohns in Psoriasis sufferers.
What is becoming more clear is that Psoriasis has a number of possible comorbidities, I often hear that heart problems are among them.

I am with you in that idea that the gut is an important element, in fact the gut is the skin on the inside. And I am well aware that there may be relations between them, but I have not seen them yet in for me reliable studies.
For me, the gut in any way is not causing the problem of Psoriasis but may indeed be suffering from it, as I said I have never seen examples of it here on the forum.

There are DNA damages that are seen in Psoriasis patients skin and which are found to be common. People with these damages show a statistically significant higher incidence of Psoriasis.
I know there are also other triggers for Psoriasis like there throat infections or other infections and not to forget the mental effects of stress on the body.

I don’t think there is a final common cure for everyone, but I fear the problem is wider. But I am open to anything that may help, so I will try to take a look in the direction you are suggesting

Cheers,
Caroline
