[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 164070, member: 3444"] There has been research that has shown a genetic link between psoraisis and a number of autoimmune diseases, including Crohn's (which my difficult child 1 has), Type 1 diabetes, Lupus, RA, and MS. That is probably the reason why many drugs developed for diseases like RA and Lupus are also effective in treating IBD (Methotrexate, Remicaid, Humira, to name a few). I don't know about the colitis connection, but perhaps it's in there too. More and more, doctors and researchers are finding that they need to pay attention to the work being done in these other autoimmune diseases because it may some day lead to a cure in their own field of study.
