Psoriasis and Coronavirus (Covid-19)

*source

These days everybody is concerned aboud the Coronavirus pandemic that is affecting all countries around the globe. Higher concerns have older people and those who have already medical conditions, like:

• Lung diseases
• Heart diseases
• Diabetes
• Cancer

There are also specialists who say that the new Covid virus is triggering a strong anti-inflammmatory response of the immune system, and this response basically causes high damage of the lungs, thing that can cause severe respiratory problems, and even death.
Every psoriasis diagnosed person who read this starts to wonder:

Will i be more exposed to Coronavirus if i have psoriasis which is an autoimmune disease?

National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board says the following:

Although psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are immune-mediated diseases, if an individual is not on an immunosuppressive medication or have other comorbid diseases, there may be minimal additional risk of contracting COVID-19 above the rest of the population.

So, until further relevant evidence, we can say that if you are a psoriasis sufferer, you are not more/less possible to be infected by Covid. Also, there is no evidence so far that, if you have psoriasis and get infected with Covid, you will be in more danger.

In many countries, due to the lack of hospital capacity, Covid patients which are not in a severe situation, will be advised through telephone by their doctors.
Having this in mind, i suggest that if you will be in this situation, do not forget to tell your doctor about the psoriasis medication you are on. This is important for your doctor, in order form him to give you a tratment that does not interact with your psoriasis medication.

How to get the maximum amount of gel from your Dovobet tube?

Dovobet/ Daivobet – we all know about the existence of this product made by Leo Pharma company.

According to NetDoctor, “Dovobet gel contains two active ingredients, betamethasone and calcipotriol.
Calcipotriol is a medicine that is a derivative of vitamin D. When applied to the skin it works by reducing the production of skin cells.”

The betamethasone and calcipotriol cobination gave great results for many psoriasis sufferers, including me. It is a product that i use almost daily.

The bad thing with this product it is that its quite expensive and you get a small tube of gel.

Now if you have many psoriasis spots or larger plagues, it can be very annoying the fact that your Dovobet tube will finish earlyer that you expect.

The good thing is that i found a trick that will help to get the maximum amount of gel from your tube.

Here’s how:

You need a knife, and a wooden surface, and you simply cut the tube in half:

Normally, when you use this product, you just squeeze the tube and apply the gel, until nothing comes out. By cutting the tube of Dovobet in half, you find that there is more gel inside, which you can take it with your finger and apply it on your psoriasis areas.

It’s not much, but it is something. For me for example, this quantity assures one more week of every evening treatment.

Preworkout supplements and psoriasis

I started seriously hitting the gym almost a year ago.
You now that when you want to grow muscle, you need to eat healthy and to use supplements, like protein powder.

Most of the people that go to gym use preworkout supplements before starting the exercises.

Those are substances that enhance your energy and you are able to work out at a higher level.

Most of the preworkout supplements are based on nitric oxide.

I was curious if the nitric oxide supplements will affect in some manner my psoriasis.

So i used some for some months, and nothing bad happened.

The product that i used contains creatine matrix, arginine matrix, citruline malate, taurine, beta-alanine, L-Leucine, l- tyrosine, caffeine and some vitamins: C, B6, B12 and some folic acid.

All those compounds are good for your body and i can tell they made a difference helping me to work out better and lift heavier wheights.

Morning jogging and psoriasis

It is 7 AM in my country and i just went to a morning running. It is said that any sport activity is good for treating the psoriasis.

I have this habit of running in the morning, and also evening for some days now. I didn’t see any kind of improvement in psoriasis since now, but it can happen nothing bad.

So i encourage all of you to run, make sport activities to build a nice body.
