Pyoderma Gangrenosum is a very rare skin condition that is not well known and not well understood. People can have the ailment for a few weeks or even years. There is almost no information on how to go about your life while suffering this condition.

ugh..!
As I have had my intake of Prednisone reduced the Pyoderma's flareup has slowly crept back onto my leg. Last week the entire wound was smooth around the edges. This morning it looks like a pizza crust around the outside portion. These flared up areas are a source of pain. I find myself taking Tylenol throughout most of the day. I hate taking pills but the discomfort at times is simply unbearable.
The edema is still mostly gone which has afforded me the opportunity to walk around my neighborhood. I went to the park this afternoon (Carl Schurz) and just walked around the UES with a cup of coffee in my hand. Simple but something I wouldn't have been comfortable enough to undertake a few weeks ago due to the pain and the edema.
