  1. Please help. Been suffering for 10 years prob DH...all the signs.. Been everywhere they say I don't Cant tolerate clothes can't work..blistering constantly both sides...lower back bottom thighs upper arms..endless scratching endless blisters. Who wil help. I give up ever leaving my house. No famIly. Every doc thinks I cause it. No...
  2. forgot to add, they refill up the minute I get rid of them, in the same spot. is that typical?
  3. I never see this as a symptom from others and wonder about it. Does anyone have balls of fluid under their skin that they can roll around? And are pushing their way out, thus forming the blister? I have burn and itch and balls that then squish right out, but they won't go back the other way. Blood comes out too lotsa times. And both...
  4. what is the butterfly effect
  5. Is it typical to have it run down both sides of neck and both sides of spine , down middle crack of scalp and on both eyebrows? Does oatmeal stuff come out? my doc thinks its pemphigoid...i still dont. I get full of liquid and i can move the liquid balls under my skin in the forehead or back for example....and the whole thing planes off when i push...
  6. wow, thats interesting. I have a lot of cheese and chocolate, crud. What else is high histamine? besides milk products.......
  7. Does anyone know if cellcept (immunosuppressants) aggravate DH or help it? I think I should stop them right now if they don't do anything. Maybe go back on pred for awhile (which I had weaned down to 5mg but im in too much pain and itch right now) cant get in to see my unfavorite doc till next week. where he will look at me puzzled and...
  8. Thank you for your response:) Its been pure H for me these past few years, and I get angry at all the sideways avenues they have had me down. If they would just LISTEN to what you are saying as far as your symptoms throughout the day (not your 5 minute apt), then maybe with an open mind they can help you. But most of the docs appear not that way. ...
  9. Hi there all. I was a poster here about year and a half ago I think. And you will not believe my odyssey. I am sick to my stomach with what I've been through, but I KNOW its DH now. I know for sure, with no positive test and nothing I can do about that. I remember squirmingitch was helping me a lot along with a few others and I could kick...
  10. any good dh docs in california? a recommend please
  11. Omigosh Laura Z. What you described , describes ME perfectly this past year. Perfect description of the scalp. That has been my biggest problem. And it increases late afternoon and night. I couldnt get docs to understand that a 9 am appt would not produce that for them. I have been through h and back. And I am right back to where i started. Its...
  12. Hi Ravenwood. On april 23 it will be 3 months gluten-free. Today I was horribly blistered on my back again. I know its not gluten because I am so tired of it, I'm pretty much doing paleo diet right now. In other words NOTHING. no soy, no grains at all, no dairy...nothing....im existing barely on plain unflavored protein and fruit and veggies, and...
  13. Hi there. Irish here. I finally got a real dapsone prescription and have been on it for about a week. My question is, is it normal for them to be squishing out as much as ever? Seems like they are softer now, not as hard, but continuing....I have been on 100 mg. for about a week. Maybe too soon? seems the face ones are better, and the back ones...
  14. Well I'm here (having a very bad day)....but trying to keep my chin up (well the bottom part of my chin always has bumps ALL over, but the rest of my chin). My outings are over. And nothing much changed, ha. Thanks for all the help. Hi Scott. (good name, it was my brothers). I don't know quite what to make of this thing. Is it normal to...
  15. Thanks so much guys...I will update in a few days...THANKS AGAIN....

More questions (don't hate me) Well truth be told...I will be away next week...something with mom....and thanks for all your replies:) So i am trying to quick study some of this....yes you are right Raven...it was given with some other stuff for the chest... but being that I'm more terrified of blisters than pneumonia at this point....and i feel...
  17. okay....i shall listen to all the wise sage squirm has for me:) and i forgot to add.....about the diagnosis thing? I forgot that the MAIN reason too i want it is because...he has no intention of giving me DAPSONE without it..i know this... from day one he says "well I dont care for dapsone so"....like...so ...what? YOU aren't suffering bud....can...
  18. Hi squirm...yeah wasnt that shocking? WHY would i want to get diagnosed? what the hell kinda question is THAT from a doc... After he knows i've been trying for over a year anyway.... He did it wrong cuz as i told other doc he does not have my best interest at heart. he does NOT want it diagnosed, cuz that would make me right and him wrong....and...

Im STILL not diagnosed either...and miserable....and just getting off gluten...im still blistering...but not as much.. its going to be trial and error i think.....it will...
  20. Hey guys, sorry its been awhile. I got real sick for a bit on top of everything else. Yeah, a year of running around in tank tops in the middle of winter will do that to you. I TRIED to take care of all that sooner, and I knew I would get sick eventually....but there ya go. Well...I won't know official I guess until tuesday the 17th....I had the...
  21. I hope you guys aren't sick of me yet...but can I ask one more thing? I can't remember if i asked about this or not, but should I NOT do benadryl? I've heard conflicting...that it could affect the test, or doesn't....I stopped them today , even though its just a few days before, but really, i couldn't take it much longer than that...without any other pain...
