alcohol and psoriasis

[ele07]

Hello ele07   to Psoriasis Club.

We're appreciative of you too for joining in and sharing, but please don't be concerned about asking questions it's what it's all about.

I cant help in your question about how to relieve the pain of palmoplantar pustular psoriasis, but I will have a word with Brighteyes as she may have some tips that could help. But for the moment you can read here thread here: Back Into Hell

As for the question about alcohol, I have given it up a few times to see if it made any difference and I'm currently cutting back again. But to be honest although they say it has an effect on psoriasis I'm not convinced, it has made no difference to me as it didn't with giving up smoking.

I have a different thought on alcohol and psoriasis compared to the professionals, my theory is if you are enjoying alcohol and know your limits then it can't be hurting. I know if I have a drink it makes me feel better, and the professionals have not tried living with the pain of both the physical and mental effects that psoriasis can cause and if a drink helps then what the hell life is to short.

That's just my opinion and I'm sure others will have more information and will respond soon, until then please feel free to have a prod around and just dive on in. You will find us a small but friendly group.

Regards.

Fred.

Cheers Fred for your prompt reply and the link to 'Back to Hell', sounds really horrendous x100. Good to jot down meds and look up. Yep alcohol does help my frame of mind and is better than stop itch remedies for time. When the itching got crazy I'd often have a drink or 3.
Once again for thanks for the welcome!
