From the research I have done, it seems that there are underlying conditions that are precursor to PN, such as Psoriasis, and other skin conditions. The dermatologist I went to said that it was rare until COVID. He has seen alot of since then. My research says that the 2nd COVID vaccine could have brought it on.

We are all in the same boat, itching our butts off. Have a great itch free week.

Tina, I just don’t know. My siblings and I had a pretty tough childhood. They say that can have a huge impact on the immune system. Strangely our land was organic so our diet was as good as it gets. With, auto-immune disease basically the body attacks itself, and seems to know no boundaries, and certainly no end. Between myself and 3 siblings we have 37 auto-immune diseases. Sometime I think they are right about early stress in life. I don’t know. Grasping at straw?? Maybe?

Tina-I agree. Biological predisposition, genetics, environmental, a bug bite 30 years ago, voo doo … just kidding. And, as you said the stars align and today is your day. I am writing a questionnaire to see if we could possibly find anything that we all have in common. I feel like it is only through our experiences that this disease may ever be known, or not.

I thought of you when I passed Kalamazoo on I94 the other day.

@A MyPrurigoTeam Member I am so sorry for your trials and pains growing up, that had to make you feel horrible. I do understand that people do things for underhanded purposes. You could write a book, that could be very therapeutic for you!
