Für Menschen mit Schuppenflechte oder Psoriasis arthritis ist es unbestritten besser, wenn sie nicht rauchen. Wer es nicht schafft, davon zu lassen, hat in diesem Kurs die Gelegenheit, sich mit seinem Rauch-Verhalten zu beschäftigen.
Das UKSH Gesundheitsforum Kiel bietet einen Rauchentwöhnungs-Kurs an. Er wird digital und vor Ort in Kiel abgehalten. Und: Er ist kostenlos.
Sucht und Gewohnheit – die beiden großen Hindernisse beim Nichtrauchen – werden in Teil 2 des Kurses demontiert, individuelle Strategien erarbeitet. Am Ende des zweiten Kurstages soll der Plan des Rauchstopps sehr konkret geworden sein.
Der Kurs ist nicht als Frontalvortrag gedacht, sondern als moderierte gemeinschaftliche Diskussion. Dadurch soll die Möglichkeit entstehen, dass jeder seinen eigenen Weg zum Nichtraucher findet. Es wird aber natürlich auch respektiert, wenn sich Teilnehmer nicht an den Diskussionen beteiligen wollen.
Der Kurs ist ein Gruppenkurs mit Eike Hansen, einem zertifizierten Rauchentwöhnungstrainer mit jahrelanger Erfahrung Er ist Lungenarzt und Ex-Raucher und weiß genau, worüber er redet. Die drei Teile des Kurses bauen aufeinander auf, sie können aber auch jeweils einzeln besucht werden.
Informationen zum Kurs gibt es unter Telefon 0431 500-10741 oder per Mail an gesundheitsforum.kiel@uksh.de. Auf beiden Wegen kann man sich auch anmelden.
Wer vor Ort teilnehmen will: Die Veranstaltung findet im UKSH Gesundheitsforum im CITTI-Park Kiel am Mühlendamm 1 in 24113 Kiel statt.

Hello everyone,
I hope that it is okay here to write in English. I am from the USA and I moved to Germany in March 2022. I live here with my husband (he is German) and we have a dog, but no children. I first got psoriasis in 2018. I had no idea what it was and it quickly spread all over my body. A biopsy at the time confirmed psoriasis. I don't know anyone in my family that has it.
When I flared in 2018 it lasted for 3 years. In the beginning, I was prescribed creams and also did UVB therapy. The creams didn't work for me in the long-term as the spots would always come back once I stopped applying it and UVB never helped either. My doctor then suggested biologics, but I was too afraid of them at the time so I declined. I then just lived with it. I covered it up as much as I could and tried to eat really healthy and took vitamin D and K etc.
In July 2021 I a weird allergic reaction to something that made my skin break out in hives for two months. However, when the hives cleared, so did my psoriasis. I enjoyed being in remission for those 8 months. Shortly after moving to Germany last year I started to notice I was coming out of remission. I was taking German courses at the time and as the psoriasis got worse and worse it became harder for me to concentrate on my courses.
My psoriasis is now the worst it has ever been. I am fortunate that most of it are in places that I can cover, but I do have a few spots (smaller ones) on my face and hairline. My arms are almost completely covered, legs are maybe 40% covered and my back has a few spots as well. I finally decided in March that I need to see a dermatologist again, so I did some research online and found a practice near me that prescribes systemic medications for moderate to severe psoriasis. I am really hoping to start on a biologic because I feel at this point the benefits outweigh the risks.
I am very fortunate that I have a husband who supports me and advocates for me, but I really want to be able to integrate and work again. I am tired of hiding away because of my skin. I have m dermatology appointment in 5 days and I really want to get started on systemic therapy. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for me for my first visit here with the dermatologist? Also, is it ever possible to go directly to biologics (Cosentyx) without taking pills (MTX, Fumaderm, etc) here in Germany? From looking around it seems that people tend to have more side effects to the pills than to biologics.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
