Hi. As alot of you know I am sure if you've read any of my posts, I am 24 and have had PS since July and PA since Oct/Nov. About 1 1/2 wks ago I started having problems with rectal bleeding and some poss things to look at are Krohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, internal hemorrhoids, endometriosis. What I want to know is, has anyone else had this problem, is there any such thing as internal psoriasis, and if you had these types of problems then what was done for you? I have a colonoscopy with poss. surgery on Apr. 1. I am trying to get as much info as I can before this. This started 12 hours before my my period, which is why we are looking at endometriosis.

HI,
My daughter suffers from severe psor. which she was born with and she is now 18mo. She has psor. of course all over her body but also in her mouth and eosphagus. She has had biopsies done in her colon which were fine but the mouth and eosphagus show psor. This has caused her eosphagus to close up and she now has to eat through a g-button in her tummy. She is currently taking cyclosporine and getting remicade treatments which have her skin looking beautiful and it has stopped her from spitting up blood, but she still can't eat but they are hoping that in time that will come. My experince is that anything is possible, so find an excellant derm and GI dr. and get them working together on you.
Good Luck & Take Care
