Question: Hi. My husband has been sick for about 5 weeks now. He takes shots for his psoriatic arthritis, is overweight, borderline high blood pressure. He has been having diahrea on a weekly basis. He also had some open lesions on his shins. Looked like water blisters. Could these two things be related? What can i say to get him to go to the DR.?
