Jen's Path to Understanding Pustular Psoriasis
Manage episode 434974842 series 3407225
Ever felt overwhelmed by a health condition misdiagnosis? In this heartfelt episode, join me, Gracefully Jen, as I recount my personal journey with psoriasis, starting from the first sores that appeared on my ankle back in 2016. Initially mistaken for a skin infection, my condition went through a series of misdiagnoses until a visit to my rheumatologist revealed the surprising truth: a rare form of psoriasis called pustular psoriasis, caused by my TNF inhibitor treatment. Listen as I share the emotional highs and lows of navigating this challenging diagnosis and the steps I took to find an effective treatment for both my joint and skin health.
This episode is not just my story but a beacon of hope and support for others facing similar challenges. From the confusion and frustration of initial misdiagnoses at urgent care to the moment of clarity with my rheumatologist, I walk you through the entire journey. If you or someone you know is living with psoriasis, this episode is packed with valuable insights and encouragement. Don't forget to check the show notes for more information on the new podcast I was interviewed for, and show them some love as well! Let’s raise awareness and support each other in our health journeys.
