My 17 year old daughter has been taking 10 mg. of methamozole for nearly 3 weeks after being diagnosed with Graves Disease. She has been complaining of ichy bumps on various places on her skin (knuckles, back, arms, back of knees, etc.) as well as swollen fingers since late Tuesday night. In fact, my daughter had to use olive oil to get her class ring off her finger this morning because her hands were even more swollen after waking up (which I told her was odd, since I thought swelling problems usually improve after sleeping).
She has no history of rashes or allergies to anything. I know it may be a mild virus. One of the people on the person to person Thyroid Forum told me that her 14 year old daughter had almost exact symptoms,and it turned out to an autoimmune rash that would erupt 48-72 hours before her daughter suffered from a mild virus. I was wondering if these are serious enough symptoms to call the endo or family doctor or if I should just watch her. Thanks.
