Palmoplantar pustulosis and shivering

[Susie Thompson]

Hello. I'm new to this Forum. I've had palmoplantar pustulosis PPP for just about a year now. I often find myself shivering for no reason and my hands going cold, even though our home is plenty warm enough. Nobody has come up with the reason for this and I'd really like to know why it happens - and, of course, can I do anything about it !!!

In order to give you some answer... I will have to think about your post a little more, but just indicating that I have seen it.
Shivering and cold hands basically points to a little less though bleeding of the veins, or alternatively an energy system that is in low gear.
About ten years ago I myself also could have very cold feet and hands, then I developed psoriatic arthritis and had to find something about that. Well that what I found has a side effect, my energy system shifted from low gear into high gear. And from that time on, I almost always am warm (no Fred.... not hot.....), I mostly have warm hands and warm feet, with the disadvantage that often the environment feels a little cold.

Hello Susie, sorry I've been unable to find anything for you. I have put it out on Twitter to see what happens.

Probably doesn't help but when I had a reaction to Humira, I went red all over like a lobster and was put in hospital for a week. I was very cold and kept shivering and a dermatologist explained it like "Imagine your skin is a solar panel and my red skin was a dirty solar panel"

Sorry I couldn't be more help, I hope someone will have something for you. Please keep us informed as it may help others in the future. Or while your waiting pop into the Off Topic section and buy us all Cake!

Regards.

Fred.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to the doctor on Friday as I think that I may have noticed a change in the shape of two of my finger - hope I'm worrying about nothing. When they're really bad, the soles of my feet feel as if they've been really badly sunburnt and that's when the coldness and the shivering are at their worst. It's not too good at the moment and the hospital have told me to stop using Betnovate RD in the morning and Carbodome under Zipzox at night. I have been told to use full strength Betnovate for 2 weeks, followed by Betnovate RD. See what happens next. I saw a podiatrist last week and she said that the skin on the soles of my feet is 'fragile'.

Somebody suggested that I visit a reflexologist - well, where would one start finding points on PPP feet !!! ? Does PPP and all the itching do a 'reverse' reflexology treatment, I wonder? All anybody else can see is the external skin, but not the other side effects that this has. I wonder what will turn up on Twitter?

Enough of PPP, time for a cup of tea Susie
