Major Pain

Living with Generalized Pustular Psoriasis


Listen Later

Several years ago, Janene was at a golf tournament when something terrifying happened. Out of nowhere her feet began to burn, as if she were walking on hot coals. She discovered that blisters were spreading across her feet at an alarming rate, as if she were being burned by an invisible fire. As the blisters continued to spread she rushed to the doctor, but nobody had any idea what was going on. After several terrifying days she finally saw a dermatologist who diagnosed her with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP). She went home with four creams, pain meds and steroids. Thankfully, this intervention helped bring this outbreak of GPP under control.

In this episode of the Major Pain podcast, Janene talks us through her experience with generalized pustular psoriasis as well as her complicated chronic illness history. Along with GPP she has also been diagnosed with plaque psoriasis, lupus, Sjogren’s syndrome, Raynaud’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis. As a mother of twins, managing this many diseases has been a challenge. However, her experience with GPP was the most horrific medical trauma she has been through. That’s why she has devoted herself to spreading information and awareness about generalized pustular psoriasis, to help others find their way through this painful disease.
