Second thought that there is a form of Ps that causes problems in your eyes, too. Inflamation being the culprit your intestines do flair, too. Some of the meds are the same. Safe to check with your RA MD.

Stress activates everything in my book! You are worried about your lung issues that causes the stress, which cause inflamation and Ps.

Psoriasis itself does not attack the lungs. However, psoriasis and asthma share common risk factors and can develop in similar ways. Factors like a family history of either condition or smoking can increase the risk for both. It's important to manage both conditions and avoid triggers to prevent flare-ups.

🤷‍♀️ I do not know nor have I read anything about psoriasis attacking your internal organs? Could be inflammation? Or if you have been diagnosed with a lung issue? Hope you get it sorted out.
