Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Hello my name is tina and I live in Medford Oregon. 1 1/2 years ago my face started to become very red/burning/stinging and my eyes burn also this first started to happen at work using a computer and in a heated building with tons of lights and heater vents. During the summer I became all better. Then the winter hit again and I started getting a lot worse! It got to the point that my face got so red (apple red) and burned so bad I cried and cried all the time at work, I would get dizzy, vomit, couldn't think- just scary bad! I have not worked sense november. I have seen 9 doctors - 2 dermatologist, 2 allergists, 1 rheumatologist. My mom died from Lupus. I have had blood tests, urine tests, chest x-rays, biopsy on my face and it all comes back clean. My problem is a butterfly rash and only on my face. From what I understand rosacea can burn is that true?????? With my symptoms I have been told by different doc that I have 1- chemical reaction 2- rosacea 3- heat urticaria 4- photo sensitivity 5- Lupus. You see I am so unsure of what I do have!! I have taken soo many pills, creams, etc - tried it all!! What I really want to know - anyone out there have my symptoms?? Does the heat from the computer, house lights, any heat at all bring you to tears?? My face has tiny broken blood vessels on it and bumps will break out but prednisone takes most of it away. Do you burn/sting to the point of it disabling you??? Any response appreciated! I have joined lupus chat and heat urticaria chat also. help!! tina in oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
