Psoriasis and APS?

[Hopingforababy]

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a while. I just wondered whether anyone with APS also has psoriasis? I have just been diagnosed with it. I believe it is auto immune.

Thanks.

Yes I have it, in the full form with the arthritis, it is essential that you keep your vitamin D up to help, I do everything I can to keep in in good shape and make it go away, I also noticed it was worse before getting my Thyroid sorted! I use a variety of supplements and creams which help me immensely, message me if you want a list of what I do to maintain things. MaryF

Yes, not officially diagnosed so not completely sure, but a mild form that appears to come and go a bit (near hearline on my head). Now it's been gone for a while. Maybe because I have been taking vitamin D for a while. I did not know there was a relation between vitamin D and this MaryF. I just started taking D while I was pregnant at the time because the blood test showed I had a shortage and I have been taking it since. Interesting.

I was told autoimmune diseases very often come on multiples. I've had Hashimoto thyroid since 2003 and was diagnosed with APS in 2014. IMO, with exception of lupus, I don't think it's unusual for you to have unrelated diseases with APS.
