Guest guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 Hello all, I have not posted before but I have been reading the emails. I spent a couple of days in the hospital last week. I had a flare-up of CP; But the other problem was confusing and I wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience. I was covered in a painfully hot and itchy rash with edema of the face and hands. The doctor told me that it was an allergic reaction but I have'nt eaten, drank or used anything different. Any information.? Have a great day. Pam Cambell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 Dear Pam, Those rashes aren't fun, and it's hard often to find the culprit. I am highly sensitive to many things so I'll ask these questions, as these are things that have irritated me before. Have you used a new bathing soap, changed your laundry detergent, worn new clothes that haven't been washed, changed your meds, slept in someone else's bed (no, I'm not trying to be rude here), used a new lotion, perfume or cosmetics, or eaten something you've never tried before? Did the rash appear before or after you were admitted to the hospital? I'm sure I've omitted something, but one or any of these things could cause this type of allergic reaction. Hopefully they have given you something to help the rash subside. Aveeno has several oatmeal bathing salts that are very effective. Let us know if you have any more questions. With hope and prayers, Heidi in SC > Hello all, > I have not posted before but I have been reading the emails. > I spent a couple of days in the hospital last week.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 Hi Pam, It appear to be more like allergic reation. I had it some years ago from a common anti- inflamatory medication called dicoflenaco, Cataflan. I had a red rash, with painfull edema, that burned all my face hands and feet. I had to used a special medication for it. After that I do not use this type of drug anymore. Look, in the past I used this med without problem, but one day, my body did not react well. It´s good to check what kind of stuff may causes this to avoid problems in the future. Could be same meal too, fish for example. All the best, Liane > Hello all, > I have not posted before but I have been reading the emails. > I spent a couple of days in the hospital last week.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 Hello Liane, Thanks for your response. I don't know what the allergy was to. I sure do not feel like undergoing testing to find out either. Since the doctor put me on an extremely low fat diet I can't eat the same foods that I was eating anyway. In fact I am rather lost as to what to cook anymore and have lost 6lbs in a week and a half. Have a wonderful day Liane. Best wishes, Pam. --- " liane.seligman " liane.seligman@...> wrote: > Hi Pam, > It appear to be more like allergic reation. > I had it some years ago from a common anti- > inflamatory medication called dicoflenaco, > Cataflan. > I had a red rash, with painfull edema, that > burned all my face hands and feet. > I had to used a special medication for it. > After that I do not use this type of drug > anymore. > Look, in the past I used this med without > problem, but one day, my body did not react > well. > It´s good to check what kind of stuff may > causes this to avoid problems in the future. > Could be same meal too, fish for example. > > All the best, > Liane > > > > Hello all, > > I have not posted before but I have been reading > the emails. > > I spent a couple of days in the hospital last > week.
