I have a question about taking melatonin supplement as there are cautions about taking if you have what is considered to be an auto-immune disease? I have psoriasis but unsure if I take melatonin what could be the detrimental effect on my health or psoriasis and if side effects would be only short term whilst taking melatonin ? I am unsure if psoriasis is really classed as a proper autoimmune disease or only a minor autoimmune disease. Any experience of this situation please?

Hi, I have pernicious anaemia, considered an auto immune disease and I was on melatonin from 1st day of my stims up as far as transfer. That and other factors I added to this cycle had led to to finally be 6 weeks pregnant. Your doctor will obviously advise for sure and I know nothing about psoriasis bit just wanted to give you my penny's worth. Best of luck.

Hi Squeak. One obviously to talk over with your specialist, but I have heard it used for auto-immune problems and the fact that those sufferers have been lacking in sunshine too! Diane
