Re:redness, 'rashy'?

January 8, 2008

Hi dear Cheryle, I can tell you my experience on the bruising. I take one baby

aspirin a day and I'm on blood pressure medicine. I bruise so very easy since

I've been on these 2 pills. I've been on them long before I was dxd with RA so

I was not on any RA meds at the time. Just thought that may help you on the

bruising. The rash, I have no idea about other than the thrush and cotton mouth

I get. Does anyone have any ideas about that and what to do about it? Good

luck on having your knee drained. I haven't had to do that yet. I'll be

praying for you Cheryle. Tender Hugs, Bonnie

To the world you may be one person,

to one person you may be the world!

I found my birth daughter,

her name is !

Hi...I was off my Humira and Mtx starting from pneumonia in August until a few

weeks ago. I think the months off Humira eventually began the RA flare saga, so

the last weeks, well, I think I am sort of playing 'catch up'.

Something different...I have had redness...not clearly a rash, but a red

somewhat raised area on my forehead off and on, and the swollen area between the

first and second fingers on the left hand. That has been a redness that goes

from right at the area away of swelling and now about two inches. The right hand

had the same swelling but no redness. I have been bruising more easily. And my

right knee is swollen needing the pinkish fluid drained and a cortisone shot. I

truly hate that procedure...but it does help.

I have been photosensative off and on, but that isn't such an issue this time of

year. I was wondering if anyone had these patches of 'redness' or bruising?

Thanks...

Cheryle
