Psoriasis? Plz.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My psoriasis went away completely after getting rid of/managing my mast cell activation syndrome, which was in turn caused by compression of the bottom of my spine

Some food for thought

This honestly sounds like what I’ve been experiencing for months and my Dr can’t figure it out, the leading guess right now is long covid. I noticed on the Wikipedia page it even mentions long covid, are they similar? Does your lymph node randomly swell up?

Long covid is very similar to MCAS

Yeah lymph nodes in my head would randomly feel swollen

Can you elaborate?

About what part?

What happened in your spine, how did you detect it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

There seems to be some compression in or around the cauda equina, I found out by pure fluke. I noticed I got a lot worse with the MCAS after doing hip thrusts with weights and after anything else that bends the lower back. Decided to hold my lower back really rigidly straight for a few days and my health issues were practically gone, and have been since.

There seems to be a few case reports online of people with MCAS getting a full cure after spinal decompression surgery but I think they had tethered cord syndrome.

Not sure what the best long term solution will be, need to find out why those nerves get crushed when bending but scans thus far are inconclusive

Yeah, pretty please.

Psoriatic arthritis recently manifested itself after just struggling with psoriatic nails and a little on my scalp. I’m only 33 and in the mornings I have absolutely 0 fine motor skills and it’s difficult to do things like unlock my front door when I leave for work. Painful as well. My dermatologist referred me to a rheumatologist….1 year for an appointment. No joke.

I hope you get help soon!

I had large amount of psoriasis spots on my arms and legs and also developed arthritis and for me Humira helped immensely.

No more pain and spots.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I cannot WAIT to get put on something like that. Happy you’re doing well.
