Grover's Disease: What works to help find relief?

Hi - I am a 65 year-old woman, andI was just diagnosed with Grover's Disease by a punch biopsy. I've had the rash for 6 months now, and it came on pretty much overnight. Traveling from a vacation in Denmark, back to California. I also have Hashimoto's, and have been on a very specific diet for the past 4 years, called AIP, Autoimmune Paleo protocol. While in Denmark, I ended up eating several things off the diet, including gluten. So, not sure how much diet contributes to GD. Though, it's hard to imagine the symptoms could come on that quickly - I felt fine the entire 3 weeks I was in DK. It seemed to come on during travel home. I am also wondering if it could be autoimmune related in any way.

Hello everyone. I was also diagnosed with Gd 2 weeks ago but have been miserably symptomatic for 4 months. So far the hydrocortisone and triamcinolone Rx along with steroid shots have provided limited relief. We thought it might be a reaction to the biological infusion I'm on for RA. Right before this started I went on a low carb diet mainly to cut out most of the sugar in my diet. Makes me wonder if there is any connection since I've had such a sweet tooth my entire life. I am happy to have found this site since this is all so new (and awful) and look forward to learning from all of you. Again nothing has really helped so far.
