Are you experiencing body tremors when your psoriasis symptoms flare up?
Body tremors aren't commonly reported as a direct symptom of psoriasis itself. However, psoriasis can affect multiple body systems beyond the skin, which might contribute to various symptoms.
Some possibilities to consider:
* Comorbid conditions: Psoriasis increases the risk of metabolic syndrome, which includes diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart conditions. Diabetes, for example, can cause nerve-related symptoms like neuropathy.
* Nerve involvement: Some MyPsoriasisTeam members have reported numbness, tingling, and weakness in their hands, arms, feet, or legs related to peripheral neuropathy. While tremors aren't the same as these symptoms, nerve involvement can manifest in different ways.
* Inflammation effects: The chronic inflammation from psoriasis can impact various body systems, potentially contributing to unexpected symptoms.
It's important to discuss these tremors with your doctor, especially if they're new or worsening with flares. They can help determine whether the tremors are related to your psoriasis, a comorbid condition, or something else entirely that needs attention.
