    Thank you Thank you Thank you. I was recently told I have this. I have had "flare ups" several times in my life (mostly in the last 14 years) and when I had them it just simply confused the doctors and doctors after doctors and doctors. It would go away and then if I had a procedure of any kind or an allergen it would come back, last about 4 months with extreme symptoms (a lot of gastro issues) then clear up. It was all awful. Today I am feeling great...and yet, going through the maze of doctors so that I can be proactive for the future. Thank you to the woman in this video. No one could have spoken it better. May God always bless her. Thank you for your channel here. I am now connected to it and I truly truly appreciate it. Thank you.

    Thanks Becky for sharing. I went through a similar journey. After i found The International Pemphigus and Pemphigoid Foundation i feel i am not alone. I was diagnosed with Pemphigus Foliaceus. Before, it was a nightmare every day and night with no support at all. Family and friends were not able to understand what was happening to me and i was not able to find a way to explain it. But now, i am receiving education about what is PF and support through IPPF support group and conferences, so i am able to understand what is happening to my body and able educate others. Thanks for all the work IPPF do for all.

    am a final year medical student from India and my mother herself is going through this disease. At first her disease was diagnosed as oral lichen planus, but as blisters started appearing, soon on 2nd visit the oral medicine dr diagnosed her to be a case of oral pemphigus vulgaris. Praying that all the people struggling with this disease get well soon and live a painless life as much as possible. God bless all.

    I too went thru what u did. I finally went to the U of M Dental School, I got my diagnosis of Phemphigus Bullua, but I feel I have both. I get lesions in my mouth and on my private places. They hurt so bad. One Dr. Said I had herpes. I told him no, he didn't test me for herpes he just blurted it. I was angry. But a biopsy show me what 13 months of sore throats and lesions! Good for you that you were able to get a diagnoisis!

    Pemphigus vulgaris usually starts orally in the mouth and bullous pemphigoid over the flexor limbs and body in general. I Live in Australia and had a bone marrow transplant for lymphoma and i was at the haematology department when i first starting having a breakout of blisters on my face. Tha haematologist didnt stuff around and called the dermatologist in from next door at the hospital. She immediately sat down with her equipment and completed a punch biopsy and a couple of others. Results were back in the next day and the diagnosis was bullous pemphigoid. So i was immediately given a months free medication that was required to treat it.
    I was in a unique ssituation and could see how physicians could easily miss the diagnosis or are just to lazy to look further. As soon as i started treatment improvements happened slowly, but the lesions have almost disappeared now and on the way to recovery. Wishing you well if you are still online.

    2. Its really amazing that it became worse over time but was limited to her mouth only. That means it was fully IgG1 on DSG-3 onl, without any antobodies against DSG-1 at all (except of her pallatum durum was also affected)

These lesions, I refer to them, all bleed , once it reaches a horrible inflamed condition bleed out and a slit as if you cut it open appears . These sores first appeared on face along neckline, chest, now arms legs , stomach. I don’t know how much more I can stand ! Going out is a chore just making them less noticeable lighter , not for long! ! I had a flare of some bacterial thing going on with dental that the dentist couldn’t understand what was going on ! I’m at wits end lot of years dealing with this , WHY ? Drs WHY ? Thanks for sharing your experience .
