I'm wondering if there is a correlation between psoriasis and MG. Just today a doctor confirmed that have psoriasis on my scalp and neck. Anyone have any thoughts? From what I read it too is an auto immune thing... Any similar experiences?

The link would be that they are both autoimmune and when you have one autoimmune disorder you are more likely to have another. I'm sorry to hear you have psoriasis.

Have you looked into trying a gluten-free diet? Believe it or not, a sensitivity to gluten can many times trigger psoriasis, and simply eliminating gluten from your diet will clear it right up; no drugs needed!

You might want to get tested for Celiac Disease, but if you have been on steroids for any length of time, the results might come back negative.

Our family has been gluten-free since our youngest daughter's CD diagnosis 3 years ago; it's not as hard as some people make it out to be.
