Hi...
I'm sorry that u fee the pain of psoriatic arthritis & psoriasis. I have them both too. It is definitely a challenge some days to get thru the day. I have often heard that LDN can be helpful for this disease. My next appointment I will start a step down 2 week treatment of pred, then LDN. My doc is very reassuring that I am now in a place where my Hands need to try a bio drug called XIAFLEX it's an injection made from a bacteria in the soil and also found in feces.
I am going to give it a try hoping this bio can straighten out my curled fingers from dupurytrens contracture and severe P. arthritis.
I read a article about a study where a new cell responsible for autoimmune diseases was identified called the "B" cell. The question is why are there more women with autoimmune diseases? As it turns out the "B" cell is only found in autoimmune diseases only attaches the X chromosome . The question why do women seem to have more autoimmune diseases than men. It turns out the male chromosome is X & Y. WOMEN chromosomes X&X.Therefore more B cells attaches twice to women chromosomes which could be why women have more autoimmune diseases.
Good to hear UR skin is clearing and u also have a manageable pain program for Psoriasis & psoriatic arthritis. I have two THR due to Ostero arthritis all my joints have arthritis.
U sound very experienced and have a good idea about what meds are available for psoriasis & PSA. And what help you. I hope that u continue to find remission.
