gallbladder /psoriasis
Question:
>Well so far i have had no out breaks of psoriasis and i hope it was >the gallbladder.
Well actually the infection rather than the gallbladder per se but great to hear that the P seems tamed down since. Hope it stays that way and thanks for reporting back the good news.

Since I’ve had mine out, I also wonder about any connection sometimes but my brother is still squirtin’ bile from his gallbladder and he has just as much P as I do.

Cool. Sorry if I sounded rude, but we’ve had people dump unadorned questions like that here before when it’s turned out they were using the ng for research rather than personal interest. Often the only way to find that out is to point blank ask. A few thoughts. There’s no known connection that I know of and a medline search of the medical journals didn’t turn up anything promising. Psoriasis isn’t a skin problem per se anyway. It’s a genetic problem leaving one susceptible to a faulty immune system response that appears on the skin. Confusing, I know, but it does make a difference in looking at causes and other factors. What type of P do you have? Especially if it’s guttate, infections can be a key trigger, and you do discuss cipro, an antibiotic, making it better. So maybe there is an underlying infection tied to the gall bladder that is helping to trigger your P and removing the gall bladder may eliminate that. Also, there are two peak ages of onset for P, aside from other factors. The biggest peak is late twenties, around 27, but the second one is early 50s as someone had already mentioned. So it could just be that, with the gall bladder problems perhaps providing a triggering event. You can have the genetic fault that leaves you susceptible to psoriasis, but you generally need the combination of that genetic problam and some sort of environemental trigger for symptoms to actually appear. BTW, are you seeing a derm for your P? It’s easier to control while not so widespread and they should be able to do something to make you not have to hate it so much and maybe clear it up. Just because it’s not much converage doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do anything about it if it bothers you. Good luck, with the gall bladder and the P Kim The Psoriasis Newsgroup Resource FAQ can be found at http://pfaq.cjb.net but will also be coming soon (twice a month) to a newsgroup near you…

I came down with psoriasis around 20 years old. Had gallbladder taken out at around 31 years old. My psoriasis is not related, the best I know to the gallbladder. As far as age and having psoriasis…no one in my family had psoriasis when I came down with it around 1983/84. When my mother went through "the change" about 5 years later, she came down with psoriasis as well. My sister is going through "the change" and has come down with skin disorder. Looks like psoriasis to be, but the doctors aren’t sure if it’s ecxema, dermatitis or psoriasis, but she’s had it over a couple of years now. J

Many people with psoriasis never see any symptoms until they are in their mid forties, like you were. I have had it all of my life, but it did get much worse when I was in my forties. Good luck. Never give up.
