question about the Stills Rash

November 24, 2008

Hi everyone. Can anyone advise me if they had a VERY ITCHY rash when they were

first diagnosed with their original big flare?? My son's rash was very severe,

over his arms and legs and so itchy it made him go crazy. We have read that the

Stills rash is not itchy...so we are getting confused a bit. (Many of you know

he was recently diagnosed...but perhaps it's not really Stills??? ) Anyone else

who experienced the severe itch with the rash? (His rash now is being treated

by some type of cream from the dermatologist and it is no longer itchy nor

hardly visible at all)...

Thanks everyone. You are the experts.

Hi guys, I admire your view on things. I'm getting there but some days are

harder than others.

Today I had a setback. My throat swelled way up. Got a shot of Decadron

and a prednisone pack.

Well, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

The GP didn't know if it was an infection or Still's. She thought Still's.

The throat swab was negative for strep but she ordered me an antibiotic

anyway. She thought if it helps, great, if not, I see the RD on Wed (2 days)

and

he can decide if I do or don't need it.

OK, I'm beat, hope you are all having a blessed day.

hugs

Jo
