Anyone Else Get Psoriasis with Their Tinnitus?

Pretty much immediately after the onset of my tinnitus, my fingernails started growing out with pits in them, which I have found is linked to psoriasis. I'm thinking maybe I have some sort of nerve damage which could be the underlying cause of my tinnitus.

Has anyone else experienced this or something similar?

 

I get a lot of dandruff and itchy scalp.

 

I have had psoriasis for 50 years, I’m now in my sixties. It can erupt when going through emotional trauma which might be why there is a link for you.
I’ve also had T for a long time but it became much worse this year. I’ve been off this site for a while but T is being a real s0 and so at the moment.
Psoriasis like T is a law unto itself. It can also go away, mine is so much better than it used to be, unlike T sadly.

@JohnAdams, just to mention, hearing loss and tinnitus are common in tick-borne diseases. And... neurological damage is common in tick-borne diseases as well. I don't believe the neurological damage associated with tick-borne diseases has been scientifically connected to the tinnitus, but I think it's a very valid hypothesis. Given this, I think your suspicion that your tinnitus is connected to some sort of nerve damage has merit.

I've read that a number of researchers specializing in tick-borne diseases believe there are many more out there than we're currently aware of. Some estimate there may be as many as 300 we're currently unaware of. Any one of them can cause many health problems, including neurological and immunological.

Some people have had success with using LDN (Low Dose Naltextrone) to modulate their immune systems. I suspect a dysfunctional (agitated) immne system, with its chronic cascading release of cykotines can likely be a cause of tinnitus, and/or easily affect its intensity. So I think there's the potential for LDN to help with some cases of tinnitus. -- Below is just a sample article on the connection between tick-borne diseases and tinnitus.

BTW, I think modern science is only in the infancy stage of understanding infections that are common in the body. They've got a few major ones down, but I suspect there are hundreds they don't know about. I think any number of them could potentially cause tinnitus, resulting from chronic immunological agitation, including auto-immune conditions--which I've suspected could be the cause of some cases of tinnitus. -- Also, I've heard psoriasis (which I have extensive experience with) is an auto-immune condition, though I'm not positive that's the case. -- Best!

STUDY FINDS HEARING LOSS AND TINNITUS COMMON IN PATIENTS WITH TICK-BORNE DISEASES

A new study finds that the majority of patients with tick-borne diseases admitted to an outpatient otolaryngological clinic in Poland suffered from hearing loss and tinnitus. In the article, “Otolaryngological symptoms in patients treated for tick-borne diseases,” Sowula and colleagues from Jagiellonian University in Krakow review the records of 216 patients, ages 18-55, who were evaluated in their clinic for tick-borne diseases between 2014 and 2016.

John you are going through quite the metamorphosis. Bright yellow with strange fingernails. You’re becoming some sort of tinny Hulk!

 

I have mild psoriasis on my feet. Started 6 months after tinnitus.

 

Hi John,

Did you ever find any link between the two (psoriasis and tinnitus)? I actually got psoriasis many many years before tinnitus (but only a very small localised bit), but I've noticed recently that the fingernails on my thumbs both have a raised ridge across the middle of them, which I believe is linked to eczema, psoriasis, or some similar kind of skin condition.

Perhaps it is just brought on by stress as the above poster mentioned. I have had quite a lot of that!

Cheers,
Michael

 

I got psoriasis on my feeth, hands, elbows and knees. I got it when I was young, around 8 - 12 years. I got my first tinnitus tone at the age of 12.

 

I also have an auto-immune disease, but I don't think they are linked. My tinnitus clearly started (and got worse) after a noise trauma.

Unless there is an autoimmune disease which destroys/weakens part of our inner ear (and I've never heard of this) they are unrelated. I guess we just din't win the genetic lottery.

 

I wrote this in an other thread as well, but it's so weird that my ekzema on my hands, fingers stopped since I got tinnitus. My headaches and migraines lessened. The tinnitus is ruining my life at the moment, I'm in the fight or flight mode all the time for 2 months well documented on this forum, but other medical conditions got better without doing anything to them. Maybe coincidence, I don't know.

 

A co-worker of mine have tinnitus and psoriasis.

His tinnitus began 3 years ago, but I don't know when was his psoriasis onset.

Anyway, he now has both conditions...

 

I have had psoriasis ever since I was a teenager and it actually calmed down drastically 2 years ago when I stopped all junk foods. It never changed since then, even after my tinnitus onset 7 months ago, which happened since a noise trauma, so I don't think these conditions are related.
