My daughter was 5 when she ws diagnosed with HSP. Only after three trips to the ER first. This desease is very widely unknown. I think it needs to be put out there. Wether it is uncommon or not, it causes quite a bit of pain. And her onset was from a "bruise" on one foot, to severe swelling and the "pin pricks" all over in less than 24 hours. It happened so fast and the only saving grace was a dr. who had seen ot once before. It's scary and she still has joint pains when she gets sick.

I do thank the doctors who took care of her while she was at the hospital, however I still think this needs to be put out there more often.

I found out my son's milk allergy triggered his hsp. He had severe joint pain that didn't go away, after his HSP "eased up". Completely omitting dairy for him, has solved ALL problems.

I had purpura. I didn't get medicated, however, I know that steroids are often prescribed to make the swelling go down. Most of the time, it should go away on its own, unfortunately it's reoccurring and there's no long term medication to prevent it, just to regulate the swelling.
