<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> In response to Lynn Pekmezian's concern about lesions. I was diagonised in my freshman year of college. I had seen a dermatologist for 9 months who pumped m e up with steriods and took many pictures of my lesions. He took 3 bioposies. He had my parents believing it was a sexually transmitted disease. Thats was 16 years ago. It was not until 6 years ago that anybody told me my lesions wer e directly related to my diet. I was on Sulphurprydine until my body became im une and now I take Dapsone for the occasional outbreak. These medicines do hav e side effects but the blisters go away. I see a internist at Duke University now who does take blood but I have never had a bioposy of my intestine. I do n ot think I am ready for that. I do have the bloated abdomen and mental fuzzine ss. I have just started on this list server and found it very helpful. I just want ed you to know that someone else got the lesions and what I do. Good luck to e veryone!
