Pyoderma Gangrenosum

15. You're very welcome.

That's wonderful that she's being given pain medication. The pain from PG can be so intense you want to scream. I feel very lucky right now to not have much pain. They tell me that could be that the nerves are so damaged that they just don't function anymore.

If she's seeing a wound care specialist three times a week, she's being given a very high level of care. That's what she needs just to keep the wounds clean and free of infection.

In recent weeks, I've had two skin grafts done. I'd had two rounds of skin graft with other doctors, and those failed. This doctor is using a different product, and so far he's hopeful about them.

I'm pleased that my description of it is helping you know what to expect from the disease. I'm quite a bit older than your daughter as well. Her youth could speed of the healing process. I know that it doesn't seem like that now. You and your daughter are in for a long haul.
