That is interesting Dawn! I have had a mild allergic reaction years

ago to a cephalosporin (Ceclor) and am currently on Spectroceph after

a course of Augmentin (both contain cephalosporins). I am

experiencing some itching now, but I am trying to hang in there as

this infection has been so difficult and intractable that I want to

just let the drug run its course and kick the infection. I am coming

off a horrible asthma flare with this infection. I seem to be on the

upswing and I am hoping to find that the infection is gone when I

return to the allergist/immunologist for a nasal swab next week.

I wonder if an allergy to cephalosporins is connected to Samters like

sulfite reactions seem to be or if it is a common allergy which is

coincidental to the Samters. It just is interesting that though we

are all different we do share certain other inconveniences.

Dawn,

Do they hurt like a bruise does?

That sounds just terrible...

I have found that when I have any kind of an infection, my hives are

worse.

I am not Dawn but have the hives that hurt too. My whole body is

involved right now though the hives are under control for the first

time in a year. My pain feels like a cross between a burn and a

bruise to best explain it. It is on my skin sometimes and in my

muscles all the time. The Rheumatologist diagnosed Fibromyalgia but

the ENT said we need a CSS specialist on this one so I am going

December 10th. Anyone have this? Trudy.

Hi Trudy,

My hives hurt too, the best way to describe mine is they're soooo itchy they're painful. When it is at its worst my hands and feet swell up and are very itchy/painful/tingly. I get bruises whith the urticaria mainly because i scratch so hard it bruises. Luckily mine goes in cycles - not sure why yet, but at least I get a bit of "time-out". I don'y know if anyone has had chillblanes, but it is quite like that. hope this is of help.

Mine are a combo of a burn/itch, especially the palms of the hands

and the feet. I swell, etc...and bruise from scratching so much but

they don't start out like a bruise.

Thanks for the response Tammy and to the rashes.

Clay's rash sounds very similar ... larger than a heat rash sounds right.

I've recently taken a picture of my son's perioral rash and the one on his

eye just in case this rash goes away before his next appt. with his ID

doctor. The picture didn't turn out as I had hoped, my lighting in my

home isn't the greatest ... but the rash is definitely noticeable.

It is such a strange looking rash. Sometimes it almost disappears and yet

it never completely goes away.

Mason's also looks like a bunch of little red bumps. The rash he has on

his eye is less red right now, but a few weeks ago looked so bad.

Thank you for the additional symptoms. It is funny how when you go to

type it all out, you forget a few of the symptoms ... since there are so

many. I know how that is. I'll sit and type it out, getting ready for

kindergarten registration ... and I go back to my document a week later

and realize I missed several of the symptoms. Thanks so much for the

information.

I am anxious for his further bloodwork to be done and the results to come

back again.

I sent all of my son's information via email and fax to Plass early

last week. I also asked that she atleast email me back saying she

received the information and thus far haven't heard a word back. So I'll

be calling her today to pester. I also cc'd my email to Beverly and got a

" read receipt " back saying she read it ... didn't even get that from

yet. Thank you to everyone alerting me of the " " problem;

otherwise, I'd probably not call her for another week yet ...

From: " Tammy " <rlw_124@...>

Subject: Heidi-Clays rash

Clays rash is like little red bumps (not like a heat rash-larger than

that) mainly on his tummy and back. Sometimes he will get them on his

leg. Every now and then his face but just one or two. They never have

a consistancy to them.

My husband read my list of symtoms & reminded me of a few things. Nose

bleeds, that they said was unrelated but he usually has one 2 days

before a fever. Runny nose and a dry cough during a fever. Stomache

pain frequently and during the fever.

It sounds like you guys are on the right path. Good luck.

Tammy, Clays Mom

Well Ric, I hope your doc will NOT take you off tx for the itching,, most of us have had trouble with that at one time or another while on tx. Try taking cooler showers or baths instead of hot as the hot water dries your skin out even more. When you get out of the shower, use a good lotion that helps to moisturize your skin as dry skin itches more. Ask your doc about benedryl too as that can help with the itching, its an over the counter antihistamine that can really help. I found a lotion called "Cacoon" that I got at one of the beauty supply stores that really helped me a lot but I have heard of several others who used Aveeno soaps and lotions and those you can get at any drug store. I sure hope you can find something to help and do not have to stop treatment! How many more weeks do you need to reach the finish line? hope you can make it! Keep us posted,, jaxbobadda1

I just read that you can " scratch " your itch with an ice cube! I have

itchy feet and that is what I am doing today because I have just

about torn my skin off. Seems to be working...that and the

Aveeno...expensive but worth it.

You know, I was thinking and when I first started treatment I itched something awful for the first couple of months but then it went away and I haven't itched for many months since if that is any consolation. The itching may only be temporary.

Hi ,

Aveeno is just mostly oatmeal. If you have a food processor or blender

simply take some oatmeal and finely powder it. I add it to simple lotions,

to my bath, etc. Inexpensive and works great.
