Yes I do. I have relapsing remitting MS. I've just been diagnosed with Lichen Planus which is an autoimmune disorder of the mouth. My gums swell and it feels like a mouth of canker sores. I'm not able to tolerate oral pills of steroids so I'm trying a steroid gel. So far it hasn't helped a lot. Add my chronic back pain and stress and let's not forget feelings of isolation and loneliness. Life is just not fun these days.

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member I have the three that I have mentioned before plus two dermatologica ones. One of the skin ones has this delightfully gross name that I love, nurses cringe when it breaks out. The name, spelling as always, is Plamp Plantar Pustulosis. I have pustulosis. Hysterical. It is basically harmless and not contagious but starts with brown spots which turn into pustules, drain and can become sore. I use lidocaine ointment on it. It may be related to the three ortho ones I have. Whatever, I get to have fun with it, especially when it is full blown with my hand covered in spots and a nurse or tech freaks out. You get to have fun with some of this.
