Guest guest Posted May 3, 1999 Report Share Posted May 3, 1999 my rash began about a week ago, but before that I had fever blisters all over my lips for the first time in 15 years. Then , when the rash began, I thought maybe it was herpes simplex, gone complicated. The rash really hit it's stride this weekend during my son's wedding. I went to the ER on yesterday, because I was so miserable and the Dr. there said I had all the classic symptoms of cea. I'm not totally convinced that I have it (denial?) Has anyone ever had an episode preceeded by fever blisters before? I've been on the Tetracycline 2 days now and the rash is less red and painful. I have more of the bumps on my neck than on my face now. I've been using a spray bottle w/ water in it to keep my face cool today while at work. It feels good to do that , but I'm wondering if the excess water will aggravate it in the long run. I'm 61 years old, have had facial, neck, and arm redness for the last 10-15 years, blush easily, have been treated before for rashes on my face, but wasn't diagnosed until yesterday! I've been reading the letters all day and the input is great! thanks, Betty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
