Hi , requesting advice on behalf of my friend who is 47 years old , was diagnosed with Psoriasis Arthritis about 4 years ago, went through a Ayurvedic treatment for a while which did not give desired results, later she was prescribed Humira and she was taking it continuosly for about 3+ years , recently her doctor changed her to a new medication Tremfya.. she has started getting back the pains in her toes , ankles nd joints . Please advice and also what diet is good

Ans:

Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory condition, so any acidic food will increase inflammation.

These include junk foods, sugary foods and red meats. In fact, many find relief by avoiding non-veg foods.

Gluten restriction can also provide relief. However, the response to food restrictions will vary from person to person.

An anti-inflammatory diet might lessen the number of flare-ups you have or it might help reduce your pain.

The main theory behind intermittent fasting is that we extend our body's time to detox as we fast more and more.

If we eat constantly, our body channelises most of our energy into digesting/absorbing/assimilating the food instead of detoxifying our body; we need to reverse this.

Ans:

Hi.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder of the skin where you get thick patches and plaques of skin, usually symmetrically and many times itchy.

Normally, even if you get relief with medication, the patches reoccur.

Of late, biologic therapy has shown promise but it sometimes has undesirable side effects.

We treat psoriasis with a combination of autologous cells and laser, which reduces the lesions significantly.

I would suggest that you follow up with your dermatologist and get regular guidance to treat your psoriasis.

These recommendations below will help:

• Shift to a Mediterranean diet.
• Yoga, meditation and regular exercise will help.
• Keep your skin moist always by using Vaseline or a good moisturiser.
• Take oral multivitamin and an antioxidant supplement.
• Stress should be reduced to a minimum.

Ans: I think she is best treated by a rheumatologist.

Ans: Namaste!!
I am so sorry to hear about your wife. Lupus is not an easy disease to deal with and I know you all along with her must be dealing with this with pain. I will pray she recovers soon.
Naturopathy is known to do wonders in this field. I suggest you look up good naturopathy doctors in your area and start with changing what she eats first. You can continue with the Allopathic treatment alongside. Everything on our body is interconnected, therefore this one condition is affecting so many other parts of the body. Yoga, pranayam and meditation can cure many diseases of practiced sincerely and regularly. I suggest you start her off on a simple Yogasanas routine asap. Even though it seems almost impossible, I suggest you take her on short walks every single day. Staying close to nature, eating organic and fresh foods, meditating and spending time reading or listening to music will help the body cope with this disease. Anxiety, blood in urine, clinical depression, face rash, flare, headache, joint stiffness, sensitivity to light, swelling, water retention, or weight loss may well be very commonly occurring symptoms for her. Learning as much as you can about lupus and what you can do to feel better. But, talking to your friends and family to help them understand what is happening to your wife’s body will also help. Taking a break from focusing on the disease, and spending some time doing activities you enjoy is highly recommended.

Ans: Psoriasis is weeping of the mind expressed at the periphery. It is for those who are perfectionist striving and doing thing of tomorrow day before itself.
So stresses precipitate
To start with, start consulting a yoga therapist and this will unfold to know you truly
