Psoriasis Comorbidities

[Forest Walker]

As a child, I had similar patches on my scalp as I do now, but they were not paid attention to.  At 21, I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's Disease).  After starting Humira in 2007, I developed a persistent patch on one lower leg.  Slowly, a few more patchy places arrived, but I wasn't diagnosed with Psoriasis until 2020 or 2021, I think.

I always thought my hypertension began when I had to be on Prednisone for Crohn's for a number of years (before better medicines were available).
