Hi everyone! I'm *****. It's good to be here.
I was just diagnosed 13 months ago with having Palmoplantar Pustulosis, or PPP. It's a form of Pustular Psoriasis which affects the palms of the hands and soles/sides of the feet. I have just recently gone into remission after being drastically affected for a year straight. It made it hard to even open or close my hands, or do something simple like walking. I never thought I would be dealing with something like this. There is no family history and before PPP, I was perfectly healthy - worked out two times per day, ate all organic, and had quit smoking a year prior.
After extensive research, I believe smoking played a huge role in my PPP.
I write for Yahoo! and have written two articles pertaining to my Psoriasis and how it affected my life. Maybe you could have a look at them, and hopefully they might inspire you to not give up and never lose hope.
(See my profile for my article links; unfortunately it won't let me post them in here)
If you have any questions or would like to tell me your story, or even just have someone to listen or be a shoulder, I'm here. I don't want anyone to suffer alone like I had.
Be blessed everyone, and have a WONDERFUL week. It's good to be here.
