I know a gal who is struggling with some pretty severe skin issues. She gets horrible ulcers that has been diagnosed as a rare autoimmune disorder that I've never heard of. Basically the doctor told her there is virtually no cure or treatment except for maybe Humira, which he said may not even help. The cost of Humira is unbelievable! Thousands of dollars for a month's supply. She is going to give it a try and see what happens, even though she really can't afford it. It is affecting her personal life and job, so she is desperate for help. Without getting too in depth.....these ulcers weep foul fluid, are painful, and show up in very unfortunate places making it difficult to move. Needless to say, it is difficult to do a job with this condition due to the smell and immobility/pain issues.
My recommendation would be to try intermittent fasting to see if that helps but I'm not sure that is something she can handle. She is overweight and uses food as a crutch (I think) which just makes for a vicious cycle.
Would any of you have any recommendations you think might be helpful?
