Re: Rashes and Rheumatoid Arthritis

[Guest guest]

I would suggest she talk with her doctor or Rheumatologist. It may be

a reaction to one of the medications she is taking.

Be very watchful of her, if she is having a reaction she may go into

anaphylaxsis. If she becomes short of breath or feels like her throat

is closing call 911 immediately.

I'm an EMT and reactions to meds are common but can be very serious.

Best Wishes,

Jay
