Current Discussions: Facebook Support Group

In my perusal of the PUPPPs Facebook community, I came across a pretty active group. For those of you on Facebook, this may be a good way to get your questions answered by other PUPPPs sufferers. It seems to get a lot of traffic.

Reader Comment: Do iron supplements play a role in PUPPPs?

Hello PUPPPs community,

I received a comment from a reader that I thought deserved more attention and input. She noticed a correlation with beginning an iron supplement and the development of her PUPPPs. While I haven't personally experienced this, I'm quite curious if any of you have! Please comment on this post and let her know if you have or have not experienced anything similar!

Here is her comment (You can see her original comment on my Current Discussion Forums Post.):

"There is a consistent discussion on the fact that PUPPPs could be related to the liver (hence I am running out on my lunch break to get some dandilion tea, etc. today to start that treatment). But, I wanted to know if others were originally prescribed iron supplements. This is my second pregnancy. I didn't have PUPPPs during my first. The only difference is that about a month ago, I was instructed to begin iron supplements, since I was severely anemic. I stopped taking the supplements yesterday, and I am hoping this may clear up the symptoms. Are you taking any iron supplements?"

I deleted my personal facebook page months ago. I was spending WAY too much time on it. But I created a PUPPPs facebook page to continue to spread the word about the rash and create another place for people to talk about it. I have no friends or followers yet (poor me!), so have pity on me and like my page. :)

Here it is:

Current Discussion Forums

Anyone else out there having trouble finding discussion forums with active conversation? I certainly am!

Here are links to the most recently active that I can find:

I-am-pregnant forum (last active 32 days ago, as of this post.)

Babycenter forum (last active 8 days ago, as of this post. I reactivated it, and someone posted after me.)

What to Expect Forum (Best I can tell, this was last active in May of 2014)

Another What to Expect Forum (Last active in February of 2014)

ALL the other forums I can find are years old! There is a serious lack of conversation for currently suffering mommas.

Feel free to start chatting in the comment sections of any of my posts! I'll check on comments daily.

Relief!
