Rash,body pain,fatigue
by Candyb, Apr 12, 2006 12:00AM
I am a ninteen year old female who has been having strange problems for almost over a year.It started with arm pain.I then began to have swelling and extreme pain in my hands and feet. One morning I woke up with hive-like patches on some spots of my body.Ever since that day the rash has never went away,I also have "bull-eye"markings on my body, which look like red rings.I can't do physical activities without my joints or muscles swelling.Even simple walking has become a problem.As time moves on my symptoms get worse, when my joints swell it very hard for me to function.Iam always tired and never feel good.I also get swollen in the spots where I am touched or come in contact with an object.I have morning stiffness.I sometimes feel numbness,tingles,in my toes.(this sounds strange,but if I have a sever menstrual cramp,the pain feels like it shoots to the tips of my toes, I don't know if that has anything to do with anything)The rash is worse some days and better the next,the rash,burns,itches,and feels like a bruise...it just depends.I have changed all my soaps,lotions,bedding etc.....I have been to several doctors,including allergist,dermatologist,rhuemotologist.I was perfectly heathy before I had a surgery over a year ago.I had an ovary and tumor removed.Any connection?Any help?

Please keep me posted.
My father had the exact symptoms and after 2 years of testing for everything else, he read an article in a magazine while waiting in the doctors office & showed the doctor who agreed it was worth a try to check. Sure enough, that's what it was.
Good Luck.
