Get him in to get checked for Lyme Disease. That sounds like they might

be deer tick bites (bullseye-type rash).

Subject: Hives, rash, now in shape of ring--doctor doesn't know what it

is.

Hi again everyone,

I wanted to share my day and see if anyone has insight.

My husband woke yesterday with " hives " on the back of his knee that

looked

like lots of bug bites. By the end of the day yesterday they were

everywhere. Today he woke with his hands very swollen and the hives were

now

rings. That is a welt with the center white and a red ring. I insisted

he

go to the doctor. To make this short, they basically took blood work and

said they do not know what is going on.

For those thinking ring worm, I questioned it since he has atheletes feet

really bad on one foot. I was told no because the rash spread too fast.

Anyone else experience these type of hives? Do you know what caused it?

As

much as the doctor didn't want to believe me it could be related to his

gluten issues, I really think it is. Can anyone back me up with personal

experience? When I looked up DH/Celiac the rash described was more like

the

cracking and bleeding he used to get on his hands.Not these ring shaped

things.

I've got to go and work on reminding God He has me confused with someone

else these days. This is all more than I can handle.

Joyce
