I am 71, retired at 68 and I also have that disease. And I used to be a fairly young 67-year-old, but then the wall hit. I’ve had rheumatoid arthritis for probably close to 20 years numerous medicines through time. I now have Copd. 2 years ago I started getting sores on my legs and they found it to be pyOderma gangrenosum. Some of my wounds actually one of my wounds is still healing and now I am starting to get more. Medicines have been changed also are used to take And Grill worked wonderfully and when I started on Medicare they wouldn’t approve it and so the doctor put me on orencia, That is when I started getting the sores. Now on Remicade and we will see.

The only thing that really helped and it took forever and like I said I still have some wounds and I’m getting more was compression and steroids. And I take them sporadically. QAnd for the last two days my left eye is swollen and painful, and I can’t get into a doctor and praying for Monday. I am at a point where I don’t know where to go and I don’t know what to do.
