Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 Hi, my name is Lori and I just found this group. I live in Ohio and with the warm weather we've had allready, I've had my first flare up! I believe that its cea, but my dermatologist has yet to see the actual rash to diagnosis it. I've suffered from this for 4 years now, in the summer only, and look forward to finding some relief and preventitive care for it. My family doctor was stumped by me telling her the symptoms, an ER doctor last August thought it was Lupus. My labs from my ER visit showed a postive ANA, and some other things that I don't remember. The tests were repeated last month with the same results. My flare up last week really took me by surprise being only April and I usually don't get a flare up till late May early June. I don't know anyone else who suffers from this, who understands what I'm going through and how I feel having this obvious red, irritated, stinging, tingling, tight, to dry itchy skin. I wish I could just stay indoors and hide from everything when its at its worst, but with 4 kids ages, 10, 8, 5 and 3, thats almost impossible. I look forward to going through old posts and seeing what works for others and hopefully find some relief for myself and my self- confidence.
