Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 > why do you think that a different brand of bananas could cause a rash? > aren't there only one type? Kathy kathy, I suspect the 2nd rash is a different brand of bananas because our usual brand is Chiquita and this other brand was who-knows-what. Perhaps different pesticides. BUT, we won't know for sure because his poor kid has had a nightmare of a week! He flared up again w/ a diff. rash on Saturday morning afte rI fed him Key Lime yogurt. I intend to cut bananas, yogurt (and other dairy), and oak trees from his daily life for about 2 weeks. Then we'll go back 1 by 1 and see what he reacts to. The first rash faded by Saturday afternoon, the 2nd rash is still very light. ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The typical Lyme rash doesn't last for years but some lyme skin manifestations do either just remain or come and go. A friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with Lyme and she had these weird rashes (irregular reddish with slightly paler centers) on both her shins for several years and one side is starting to fade after a few months on abx. The ID specialist thinks it is from Lyme. I also saw someone the other day with multiple small rashes on his upper arm (about 10 rashes that looked very much like ringworm rashes only not as regular and running one into the others so if you didn't look carefully they could've looked like one big rash) and he also has Lyme. So who knows! Nelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Could the rash be from Drool? My son gets that when teething? IF there is no fever etc there isn't much that anyone will do unless there are blisters but even then just lots of h2o. Skin problems are hard to diagnose! Where was I going with this? Oh yeah, Calendula by Weleda they have web site www.weleda.com This product I can not live without it is made from a flower related to the marigold family and it is amazing!

I was going to take her to the Dr. but then we thought that it might be Roseola. Last thurs she had a fever of 102, it lasted until Saturday, but was lower around 100. It was only 102 Sat. night. So, then on Monday she had a rash. She is clingy, but she is also teething. So, other than being clingy she isn't acting like she is sick. I think we will take her to the Dr. if it isn't gone by Thursday. She is still nursing, having wet and shoo shoo diapers. She doesn't seem to be uncomfortable and there isn't a fever. She just has a red rash, it is raised a bit. Any suggestions? Thank you. Sunflower,(So.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2001 Report Share Posted August 11, 2001 yeah, I'm wondering if they're going to start to not be classical symptoms anymore with the vax too.....weird thing is he hasn't even played with any other kids, anywhere..... Was your daughter bf at the time? I'm also thinking that bf AND unvaxed kids may have really different symptoms....what's weird is that I'm preg too and I think he's getting some colostrum right now so he should be even more protected?? The ones on his face have started to scab a little.....but I don't think all of them will...and they're so tiny you can hardly tell they're scabs....I've taken pics.....hope they come out good.....

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 My Son has a weird rash right now. Mostly on his arms and formed little blisters. He is 2 years old next week, and I don't think he's figured out how to scratch, but I htink they are bothering him. I went to the homeopath today and got some sulphur for him, as well as the rash, he has become afraid of water on his head - and sulphur fits both symptoms and a few others.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Hi, sorry to hear about your rash. I've had BotTox and Dilatation's and not had a rash. It crossed my mind that you might have had a reaction to the sedation or to latex from the gloves staff would have been wearing. Worth a thought if it persists and you need to contact anybody else about it. Hope it clears up quickly and that the treatment will give you lots of relief.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Hi Cris, Thanks for the quick response. I just got back from my doctor and he thinks the rash is from a mild flu I got a few days ago. He felt that I probably have a virus in my system which caused the rash. He strongly believes that it has nothing to do with the botox and asked that if it doesn't clear up in a few more days to go back to see him for further testing. Thanks again, Lillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I'm getting this Sheri - our autistic son (4 yrs.) was sick for the last couple of days. As usual, he gets really sick for a 24 hr. period with a high fever. This was the first time ever with all my children that I did not give out motrin/tylenol. I fed him what he would eat and gave him a little oregano extract, homeopathic remedy for colds/sore throats and he is top notch today - getting over the fear is the BEST!!! Thank you for all you do to help many of us get educated and get over our western based fears!AlliFrom: Sheri Nakken <vaccinedangers@...>Vaccinations Sent: Wed, September 1, 2010 4:16:49 PMSubject: Re: Rash I encourage all to do your best to relax about illness Illness happens and is good If his fever was high and then dropped it is probably roseola google on roseola.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Can anyone who has had FCR tell me how long it should take for skin rashes and counts to return to normal? This is my last treatment this week and was hoping I could envision an end to this skin rash and maybe get back to a normal way of thinking again. I am grateful to be in remission and hope it last forever but I am also optimistic about some of these new inhibitors should we need the help again down the line. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 , This depends on what kind of rash do you have, and how long have you had it? Are the doctors sure it's a drug reaction - or could it be a herpes zoster due to suppressed immunity during treatment? My MDs gave me acyclovir for treatment and 3 months post to reduce the likelihood of zoster. There were no side effects. I have had a persistent rash since treatment with rituxan / bendamustine almost a year ago (treatment ending in August). I've had it biopsied and MDs say that it's allergy related. I've never had allergies before. My feeling is that my immune system and/or nervous system is still off balance - maybe permanently so - and that I will have to do with these rashes somehow. All best to you! Marietta Age 54 Dx 2003 Rituxan/fludarabine Treatment 2010 bendamustine/rituxan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
