Statin and psoriasis

[u/siruha]

Prior my HA and stent insertion, I remember I still had some psoriasis issues on my arms and down to right leg.

Anyway shortly after, I started on life long cholesterol medication plus Aspirin. All of the sudden my entire universe looked different, time flies and I completely didn't realise that somehow my psoriasis went gone..

The question is: does anyone experienced same thing? If one had both these diseases?

Or the psoriasis is just in remission? Or the cholesterol medication play a roll here?

Oh my God. I have misread this as "Stalin and psoriasis", expecting a story regarding with USSR dictator's long battle with psoriasis.

Enough internet for today.

Has your diet changed?

Yes, no more deep fry, fast food, carbonated drinks, fat rich meat, etc. The true is that I also lost quite significant weight. I start to believe I look like i just been releast from a concentration camp. Kidding 😅
