Pustular psoriasis????

[Guest guest]

After surgery I developed  pustularpsoriasis (the rarest psoriasis) on my

fingers and toes. One week after my decompression surgery on 6-22-09 I started

seeing peeling skin on the finger that I wore the heart monitor on for 7 days

straight. At first I thought it was a bacterial infection, or a fungus. I went

to my primary Dr. she treated it with some cream, and the problem started

spreading to all my fingers. She told me to go the a dermatologist, so I did and

for three visits he wasn't sure what it was, and he treated them with many

different creams, none of which helped. By my fourth visit he saw how the sores

were under my fingernails and finally said I had Pustular psoriasis. Well it was

nice to know what I had a name for my condition, but to find out that it is

another non- curable disease was heart breaking. No one knows why or how I got

this. They do know that immune system and genetics play major roles. I thought

maybe someone out there could

put a link to having the surgery and then developing this.

 

 I really hope no one does suffer from this because it is so painful and no

matter what they put me on it has not helped. I lost my job as a cosmologist,

because if I touch anything my fingers bleed. They feel like they were all hit

with a hammer, but the pain does not go away. My nails are all coming off and

they feel like they are going to explode. one really doesn't know how important

you fingers are until you can’t use them. It has taken me a long time to type

this out using a pencil. If anyone knows anything about this will you please

share your story.

 

Thank you,
