Lisa 9- I have enough wrong with me that I have doctors refuse to treat me.PN is the last disease to move in on me. You can have just PN but sooner or later in all likelihood you end up with something more to battle. I am grateful that GOD waited until I was old before HE hit me with all this pain to battle 24/7 I was able to raise my 3children on my own and loved every minute. Now I am not able to get around roo good but it's all good. No worries. God bless you sugar!

I was tested for Sjogrens too. Also negative, question. Have you lost teeth? I lost my 2 front teeth. I had implants done. This is why initially I got tested.

- Allergies, hay fever, or asthma
- Atopic dermatitis (eczema)
- Contact dermatitis (skin irritation or an allergic rash)
- Lichen planus (inflammation of the mucous membranes)

It's important to talk to your doctor to determine if PN is linked to another condition in your case.
