alcohol and psoriasis

[Fred]

Alcohol can be a problem when heavy drinking is involved. I am concerned about how much you drink and the long term health effects, it can cause many other serious diseases. There are many drugs on the market to help cut down the cravings for alcohol. I'm concerned that you may be dependent on alcohol. Addiction is a brain hormone controlled disease. Please see your GP to discuss your daily consumption.  

Sorry Quest but Ele didn't actually say how much she does drink, and suggesting she may be dependent on alcohol may be a little bit over the top in my opinion. I'm a drinker, and I would only class someone dependent if they had to drink all day.

Just my opinion as a drinker.  

You need to be free from alcohol if you qualify for medications such as, MTX or a bio drug.

Also whilst you are correct about Methotrexate, I have never been told to avoid alcohol whilst on the Bio's.

There is also sunshine a valuable factor for clearing P.  Sitting in sunshine early am or after the hottest part of the day helps the skin produce vit-D3 ,there is a chart for the length of time it takes for the body to produce a sufficient amount of vit D-3. See online google. Never burn, or a take the Vit-D supplement. There is also light UVB treatment or laser treatments available thru your derm.

Good news Quest I agree on this part.
