I was just talking with Rosie and she was asking if there is a link with Psoriasis and Paresthesia and wondered if anyone had more info?
Paresthesia refers to a burning or prickling sensation that is usually felt in the hands, arms, legs, or feet, but can also occur in other parts of the body. The sensation, which happens without warning, is usually painless and described as tingling or numbness, skin crawling, or itching. The most familiar kind of paresthesia is the sensation known as a limb "falling asleep"
Wikipedia has a piece but I cant find anything else yet.
Having thought about it I do often get some tingling and numbness in my legs, feet and hands.
Comments please.

Joint conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome are common sources of paresthesia.
