PPP

[casper18]

Can PPP be caused by anything? any other diseases?

I haven't been diagnosed yet - still waiting to see the dr again monday - i'm a nervous wreck...but I'm trying to relate it myself - maybe i should just stop b/c I'm driving myself mad

Hi, PPP is an auto-immune disease and is in the Psoriasis family.

Please try to calm down, and wait for a diagnosis. Please try to ensure that your doctor swabs your pustules, or does a tiny biopsy to test for fungus and/or bacteria.

Don't drive yourself mad any longer. You might not even have it, and if you do, treatment in various forms can help. And honest, there are much worse things to be diagnosed with.

I'm actually hoping it is PPP - b/c for 2 years there has been no diagnosis' and it's just getting worse...

The ID doctor is the first one who thought of it being related to my arthritis or something similar...I'm not home but my pics look just like all the others I've seen with PPP

My brain is going wild with all the horrible diseases/infections/virus' he tested for - to rule them out...

Hi Casper, I just read your post over on the PPP thread. That's the place to post for PPP.

You have no option now but to wait, and our minds play awful tricks on us in stressful. It is a good thing to get all this blood work done and narrow down the field.

I'll post on the PPP thread from now on.......so see you there!
