Hello I'm new

[Susie Thompson]

Hello everybody. I'm 65 and I live on the West Coast of Scotland. I work with fine porcelain clay sculpture. It's just about a year since I was diagnosed with palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP). The skin on the soles of my feet broke out first, followed by my hands, after a prolonged period of severe stress resulting from personal and family problems. I'm just starting counselling to help me to find a way forwards. I have a very supportive husband, and our Labrador dog called Sam does a pretty good job too. My GP has been very good through all this, as well as have all the folks at Crosshouse Hospital.

So far I have been treated with a multitude of creams and potions and bandages. I have not long finished 20 PUVA sessions. My hands are a lot better, but my feet are an ongoing problem. That about sums it up, but I'm bound to have forgotten something!
