Eye problems

[Paul9]

Hi Paul,

No I don't have similar problems, nor do I know that someone has.

But I know that there are a lot of comorbidities connected to auto immune diseases like psoriasis. That is, that there are much other things you become vulnerable of when you have psoriasis.
E.g. Since short I now know that the Achilles problems I had long ago, probably were the first sign of my PSA.

Why?
My simple brain says that it must be because we as psoriasis sufferers always have a higher inflammation rate in our bodies than others. This subseptability to inflammations is likely to be the cause of other problems. For instance if it also would work on your muscles, and I think it is, than it also may have a link to your heart.  And I once read somewhere that psoriasis patients have a higher change on heart fibrillation.

So, concluding it may well be that your eye problems do have a relation to your psoriasis.

On the other side, if you fight the inflammations, by means of biologicals and/or DMF (had to mention it   ) than this comorbidity should go down again. It is even said that by using this drugs your chance of getting cancer is going down.

Hope someone will come back with more relevant information for you.

Cheers,
Caroline.

Hi Caroline,
Thanks for the feedback. In my naivety I used to think of PsA as a stand alone illness, but the longer I have had it the more I too have found that there are many related conditions that one is more suscepable to suffering from.

Paul
