Story about Pemphigus .

PV hit like a bomb!

Dec 2, 2


Not unlike other patients, I fist had what I thought was an insect bite.  Then it grew and grew on upper back till I was covered in 3" blisters. Went to Bevelry Hills dermatologist. Misdiagnosed for 4 months.  Blood tests said PV; biopsy said negative.  It was PV.

Given 100mg of Prednisone to start, along with other meds.  Affected areas: Upper back, scalp, gums, larynx.

Never given other medications.  Took ten years.  In remission since September 2012.
