Oral Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid
Posted , 5 users are following.
:?: Recently diagnoised and I have so many questions. Do I need to see a Rheumatoligist if I have leg pain along with the mouth lesions??? Will taking Vitamin D supplements help? Knowing that Vitamin D comes from sunshine, I have avoided the sun for over 20 years due to basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma skin cancers that I have had. I go toa Dermatoligist every 4 months for complete check up and most of the time she finds new skin cancers. Does this have anything to do with Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid? No one seems to know much about this disease except that it is an autoimmune disease that is hard to treat.

I am now being weaned off the Prednisolone and have been on Methotrexate for about 6 weeks. We haven't found the optimum dose yet. I am due to see him next week. I saw the Ophthalmologists yesterday. The Dermatologist wants to refer me to a Rheumatologist too.
The worst part of all this? Finding a parking place at the various hospitals!
I do feel as though I am on my own. It is a rare disease, so GPs never see it, so don't know how to treat it and are reluctant to refer.
