forgot to add, they refill up the minute I get rid of them, in the same spot. is that typical?
-
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...

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?

ARCHIVED Misdiagnosed as Pemphigoid, you're kidding me

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... -

irish11 replied to irish11's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
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. ... -
ARCHIVED Misdiagnosed as Pemphigoid, you're kidding me
irish11 posted a topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
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... -

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...

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...

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...
