Vaccinations and Psoriasis

[Fred]

My thinking is that, yes psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, but that doesn't necessarily mean that our immune system is lowered, in fact it is overactive I believe attacking cells it shouldn't causing the skin to overgrow.
So unless I'm told that my immune system is down which can be seen from blood test results, I will continue to have my Flu jab whether it's live or not.
That's my thinking but I could be way off course

Mmmmmmmmm not sure of your theory about over-active, yes your body is over-active but that is your immune system fighting something.

It's a bit like a boxer in the ring if he is doing well an you put another opponent in, surely the extra work load he is putting in will make the boxer weaker? So his ability to keep fighting is reduced, that's the way I see it.

I have never had the Flu jab I always refuse it, but you are probably being given the Dead Flu Vaccine as I think most flu jabs are dead vaccines these days.

I'm not that up on Bloods, but aren't there lot's of different results that show up problems with the immune system? You are only tested for some things as you are on Fumaderm, so you may not know there is something else going on. On my last dermatology appointment they added another three things to my blood test, so I don't know if a weak immune problem would always show up unless tested for.

Plus we all do agree Psoriasis is an Autoimmune disease, but it's not checked for confirmation via a blood test.
