Re: blisters on the soles of my feet

[Guest guest]

Yes. This can be a form of psoriasis called palmar-plantar pustulosis,

or pustular psoriasis. It is the main form of P that I have. I had

blisters on the tips of my fingers and the soles of my feet to the

point where I could not work at all - no use of my hands and no walking

or standing. Humira has cleared my hands completely for almost a year

now, and has improved my feet but not nearly enough. I still have days

where I can barely walk because of the sores on my feet.

You should see a dermatologist to confirm that this is indeed

psoriasis. If it is, you should let your rheumatologist know about it,

too. This kind of P is even more resistant to treatment than other

types, and it tends to point toward a possibly more severe case of PA

so your rheumy may want to treat you more aggressively than normal.

Sorry to hear your troubles, but don't panic - it is controllable if

you are willing to use medications and patiently work with your rheumy

and derm.
