Psoriasis and Paresthesia

[Fred]

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.

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

Having thought about it I do often get some tingling and numbness in my legs, feet and hands.

Comments please.

My experience is different.
I don't have that at all, but for some situations that we all have sometimes, e.g. a sleeping arm if you are in your bed and your arm was too long lying above your head. Or on the motorcycle if I grip the gashandle too long too firmly.

I don't have any numbness because of my PsA, except for a little stiff fingers in the morning, which is gone far before I step out of the shower.
