Pyroderma gangrenosum 4 over 2 years from crohns anyone else out there
Been trying to find support groups..this is the closest ive found to finding one. I see no one is really active on this topic.. I know how rare PG is but am hoping I get someone on here to talk too.. I've tried 4 medications and have been to at least 5 diff specialist for dermatology. Traveling to diff states and there seems to be no light in sight. I am a 35 year old female and my body is literally covered in scars and still active wounds.. I thought crohns was bad enough but the pyroderma is the worst thing that has happened to me health wise.. I see ppm have tried the oxygen therapy, I've done a little research on it but figured insurance wouldn't cover it so didn't really get extensive w my research.. any advice, or juat hearing another story ...ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated!! Crossing my fingers i hear back from someone!!

someone with experience will have a better response
I hope you recover soon.
I have had Crohn's for 40 yrs and it has been in remission for about 4 yrs. I am now medication and symptom free. My colonoscopies have been normal. I credit the taking of Low Dose Naltrexone which I started in 2019. It allowed my small intestine to heal which was full of small ulcers. Tou will need to find a dr. to carry the script. Don't look for your GI doc to believe in it. They usually don't. I take 2 mg. Look it up and research it.
