Guest guest Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi to all. I have RA - mostly mild symptoms and just one flare a year ago. (I know - I'm very lucky - or blessed!) Now I'm concerned about my husband. For 3 weeks he's been dealing with something. Started with a rash all over his body - head to toes! Then he developed swelling in his hands, knees, and elbows. THEN - still broken out and still swollen - his joints started hurting really bad. We've had 2 trips to the emergency room and he's seen his PCP twice. This doctor did blood work but only a blood count. Said it was probably an allergic reaction to something. (Big help!) BTW - my hubby is 66 years old, still works full-time, fairly good health. This doesn't sound like exactly like a flare from what I've read in this group (no fever, no response to Prednisone) but I don't know what else it could be. Did some research on the net and wonder about parvo virus. Has anyone here had similar symptoms that turned out to be RA or some other related problem? Thanks in advance for any help.
