Well, somehow or other, I seem to have PUPPS again. Strange, eh?
And let’s just lay this out right away: NO, I’m not pregnant. Yes I’m sure. Yes, I’m very, VERY sure.
So, the question begs… how in the world am I getting it again? And the answer is, I have no idea. But let me tell you, it’s no fun. It’s spreading just like before. So far it’s been creeping down my arms, legs, chest, neck, shoulders and feet (interestingly not on my midsection this time). It’s not nearly as bad as it was when I was pregnant, but it’s still waking me up at night and I’ve had to pull out my Sarna lotion again. Luckily I still had a few pills left from when I was pregnant to take at night to help me sleep.
The only thing I can figure is that it is somehow working its way out of my system now that I’m not pregnant anymore. You know, releasing the pregnancy hormone. Or something like that. I just don’t know. And unfortunately, it’s so rare that most people we talk to don’t really know much about it. We’ve decided it it stays much longer I’ll have to go in and be seen. I’ve had it for about 3 weeks now but it’s only started to get bad in the past week or so.
It would make me feel better if I know it was resurfacing and then would work it’s way out of my system and be gone. But I don’t know if that’s what happening. What if it’s just going to keep redeveloping? Yikes!
Well, that’s horrible. I’m so sorry to hear this and I’ll pray that it goes away quickly. Are you sure it is PUPPS and not something else? Maybe something they can do something about?
