00:00First, I had a shivering, fever, tonsil, and I have some rashes on my body, redness, itchy,

00:09and I also have swelling on my skin, and I had this burning sensation.

00:20So that's where they told me that I was diagnosed with this GPP.

00:25Once flare, I cannot go out of the house.

00:28That's the first thing, because I'm not able to wear even any clothes on my body,

00:32because the inflammation is too high, and my body skin will start to come off.

00:39And I do have passes on my body, so I have to wait.

00:43Like, I couldn't go out to do outdoor activities, like usually we do go to the shop, to the market.

00:50I couldn't do all that.

00:52I stopped working because of GPP flare very often.

00:56So, you know, when we are committed in a company, we must not leave very often, right?

01:05So when I have flare, I have to be absent at least two weeks.

01:09Two, and the time, the period that I have my body to cure and all this,

01:17it at least takes around three months.

01:20They have tried biological treatment on me now, so that is very effective.

01:28It's working very well, and I'm happy now, so that my GPP is under control.

01:33I'm so happy after the drip.

01:35Yeah, I'm not flaring very frequently.

01:38The last time I took, six months, two weeks before, I took the drip,

01:43and it has not flared for six months now.

01:47So I had another drip around last month, so I'm happy now.
