I have had psoriasis for about 20 years. It was dormant for about 5 years, but since the birth of my son in January, it's been awful. My elbows and knees look bad.

I was also diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) a couple of years ago (sounds like I'm falling apart!), and wondered if anyone else out there may know if the two are related in any way? Both conditions seem to flare at the same time for me.

I was instructed to adopt a low-carb diet to control the symptoms of the PCOS. I finally have gotten off of my butt and started back on Atkins and have noticed a slight clearing of the psoriasis. But, after reading the other postings, I guess the consensus is that low carb diet does not effect psoriasis?
