Tiredness, Loss Of Apetite. Taken Soriatain For Psoriasis. Is It An Immunosuppressant And Causing The Symptoms?
Ive been really tired for the last 4 or 5 days, no appetite ,sleep doesn t seem to help. I have basically been in my room for the last 3 days. I missed 3 days of work but I have to go back today or I may jeopardize my job. Any ideas as to what may be going on. By the way I am a 60 yr old male. Oh yeah, I take soriatain for severe psoriasis and I think it is an immuno suppressant. Don t know if that means anything or not but figured it might be good to mention it.

Hi,
Since you have been on immunosuppresant for many years get a CBC done to rule out bonemarrow suppresion and fasting and postprandial bloodsugar and GTT if they are elevated and get treated accordingly.
