Researchers from Pritzker Molecular Engineering, under the guidance of Prof. Jeffrey Hubbell, demonstrated that their compound can eliminate the autoimmune response linked to multiple sclerosis. Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have developed

      My psoriasis went away completely after getting rid of/managing my mast cell activation syndrome, which was in turn caused by compression of the bottom of my spine

      Some food for thought

        This honestly sounds like what I’ve been experiencing for months and my Dr can’t figure it out, the leading guess right now is long covid. I noticed on the Wikipedia page it even mentions long covid, are they similar? Does your lymph node randomly swell up?

              There seems to be some compression in or around the cauda equina, I found out by pure fluke. I noticed I got a lot worse with the MCAS after doing hip thrusts with weights and after anything else that bends the lower back. Decided to hold my lower back really rigidly straight for a few days and my health issues were practically gone, and have been since.

              There seems to be a few case reports online of people with MCAS getting a full cure after spinal decompression surgery but I think they had tethered cord syndrome.

              Not sure what the best long term solution will be, need to find out why those nerves get crushed when bending but scans thus far are inconclusive

        Psoriatic arthritis recently manifested itself after just struggling with psoriatic nails and a little on my scalp. I’m only 33 and in the mornings I have absolutely 0 fine motor skills and it’s difficult to do things like unlock my front door when I leave for work. Painful as well. My dermatologist referred me to a rheumatologist….1 year for an appointment. No joke.

          I hope you get help soon!

          I had large amount of psoriasis spots on my arms and legs and also developed arthritis and for me Humira helped immensely.

          No more pain and spots.
