a question for the group

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Dear Friends,

Just getting back to normal, and I use that term

loosely, after two days of stomach flu. NOT FUN! No

harm done and one benefit....I lost 10 lbs in two

days. I doubt it was worth it however.

I have a question. I think most of you know that my

ears are a mess. Since my third Remicade last month,

I have not had much of a problem, and nothing I would

term a flare. However, there is one spot (where I

have had multiple lesions) that is now just

hyperpigmented and almost continually sloughing off

skin. It is not bleeding, or sore at all though. I

don't understand this. Has anyone had anything like

this?

I had to cancel my rheumy appt as it was on one of the

days that I was too sick to raise my head, and I can't

get in to see him until April 1st now. I could call

about this, but wanted to hear the collective wisdom

of the group first.

Thanks, Sharon

Good Morning Sharon,

I have the same thing accross the top of my right ear. It is always painful to the touch and sloughs off dead skin. I was told the ear has permanent damage. One Rheumy told me to use Zinc oinment on the skin to protect it but that did not work, so I just live with it.
