QUIX PLEASE

Hi Quix

I hope I'm not bothering you... I feel like I am,  If this is true I'm sorry just have so many questions.  with the last post you said you would clarify some things and I also posted my actual MRI report.  I'm looking for my thoracic spine report but I do remember the neurologist saying that I had narrowing of my spinal canal and that something was touching a nerve.. I said well doesn't this explain my problems?  she said no....

So Quix  I also have such brain fog,,,,, its embarrassing at work and it seems like the harder I try the worse it gets,,, does that make any sense?

also about 3 weeks ago I was sitting out in the sun,,,,, and came in and had this weired rash on my legs,,, it looked like time blood spots under my skin,,, a girlfriend said I'm allergic to the sun.... WHAT???? I've never ever had that problem before,,, so anyway the rash gradually disappeared in a week or so.  

I appreciate your time Quix and if I'm bothering you please please just say so OK,, I do understand and if your just not up to it. I completely understand.

hugs
Ray

Hey, Lady!  I am not ignoring you.  I'm just in a low period and preoccupied with the taxes and the long-delayed refinance on my house.  My energy is running low right this minute and I promise I will get to you and the forum to answer some stuff.

You got great info on the rash.  I won't be able to help there.

But, for anyone that gets any kind of visible symptom, a rash, a tremor, a big jerk (doesn't count last night's blind date), try to get pictures of it!!  IF it is a movment thing get a video of it.  Pictures and videos can tell doctors volumes!!

Be back later, Q

are you on any new meds? many meds cause reactions to sunlight while on them, they make you super sensitive,so be careful okay.a call to the doctors,is never a bad idea,remember you are worth feeling safe,and that should be your doctors job.

My son in law has Lupus and has such rashes whenever he is out in the sun.  What you sound like you had might have been a reaction to some chemical.  Was there any weed killer or such on the grass that you sat on?

Believe it or not, I am allergic to freshly mowed grass.  If I sit down in it, I get an immediate rash.  If the grass has NOT been recently mowed, I can sit on it all day.  I have had this since I was a litlle kid.  Doctor's could never find out exactly what was in the freshly mowed grass that made me get the rash.

Here I am 54 years old and it's still a puzzle.

Lupus with that sun-sensitive rash. Let's see what your ANA and sed are. And Ada's right (of course). Call your doc right away about the rash.

Achy joints / arthralgia (95 percent)
Fever of more than 100 degrees F / 38 degrees C (90 percent)
Arthritis / swollen joints (90 percent)
Prolonged or extreme fatigue (81 percent)
Skin Rashes (74 percent)
Anemia (71 percent)
Kidney Involvement (50 percent)
Pain in the chest on deep breathing / pleurisy (45 percent)
Butterfly-shaped rash across the cheeks and nose (42 percent)
Sun or light sensitivity / photosensitivity (30 percent)
Hair loss (27 percent)
Abnormal blood clotting problems (20 percent)
Raynaud's phenomenon / fingers turning white and/or blue in the cold (17 percent)
Seizures (15 percent)
Mouth or nose ulcers (12 percent) us can cause serious complications.

It can cause serious complications.  Please call your doctor about the rash with the sun.

Hi Sweetie!  Ok, I have a question about the rash, was it flat or bumpy, was it all over or just in a certain area on your leg?  Was it red, salmon color or pink?  Have you had an RF, ANA, sed rate test?  On my profile I uploaded pictures of the rash I have with the Still's disease, if you get a chance look at them and see if it is similar to what your legs do in the sun.  

Many Hugs,

Ada
