This meeting was supported by Vicky Starr and Diplomat Pharmacy. Carolyn Fota approached the IPPF last fall about starting a support group in her area. Her reason for wanting to start a support group was simple. “I feel so much was given to me through the IPPF -- it's the least that I can do. This illness that we share, although serious, doesn't have to be so isolating, scary and painful especially with a wonderful organization like the IPPF.” - [Can't Grind Me Down](https://www.pemphigus.org/cant-grind-me-down/): My name is Rudy Soto.

After a four-hour train ride, I decided to walk to my hotel, nearly two miles away. It was rush hour, days after a major snowstorm. Boston was cold, and the streets were crowded with traffic barely visible beyond mounds of blackened snow.

He was early, and I was spent. Everyone has a story. - [Finding Support: Tony's Story](https://www.pemphigus.org/finding-support-tonys-story/): In January 2013 my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

However, if you had told me back in early 2001 that this is what I would be doing today, I never would have believed you. I had never even heard of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) then, much less known about rare autoimmune diseases. I’ve - [Halima](https://www.pemphigus.org/stories/halima/): My symptoms started at the beginning of April 2018. My mouth was inflamed, and I had painful blisters on both sides that made it very difficult to eat or drink. I had no idea what was causing my symptoms, and I went to four different doctors. My primary care doctor told me that I needed - [Rudy](https://www.pemphigus.org/stories/rudy/): My journey with pemphigus foliaceus (PF) began in 2009; however, my symptoms began in 2008. I have been in remission since 2016. It has been a long journey, and I have encountered many bumps and detours along the way. I would not have reached remission without the support from my wife, Jennifer, of 26 years, - [Minatallah](https://www.pemphigus.org/stories/minatallah/): When applying to dental school, my initial feelings about dentistry centered on a yearning to help others. Our prerequisite courses required us to be involved within the community and provide for those in need of dental care. This helped open our eyes about what dentistry entails. However, I’ve learned that I can never say, “I’ve - [Linda](https://www.pemphigus.org/stories/linda/): My journey began in August, 2017. I had a slight rash on my lower back that was extremely itchy. When I went to see my primary care doctor for my annual physical, I mentioned the rash, but he never looked at it. He just brushed it off. One month later, I spent a week on - [Toby](https://www.pemphigus.org/stories/toby/): When I was diagnosed with pemphigus vulgaris (PV) in late 2010, like most patients I’d never heard of the disease. Also, like most, I’d endured about six months of worsening symptoms before finding a doctor who was able to help me. After starting me on medication, the next thing my dermatologist did was to tell - [Fred](https://www.pemphigus.org/stories/fred/): It was January 2007, and I was sitting across the desk from the second dermatologist I had seen in five months. For the second time, I was told that my condition was probably “seborrheic something-or-other” and was prescribed an alcohol-based topical steroid that I knew would be painful to apply. I had endured three months - [Kathleena](https://www.pemphigus.org/stories/kathleen/): When I was first diagnosed with pemphigus vulgaris (PV), I didn’t have the slightest clue what those strange words meant or how this disease would impact my life. The physician who finally diagnosed me handed me a description of the disease and referred me to another doctor, an expert in PV management.
