Rhapsody,

Grrrr! I'm sorry this is happening with you.

Have you researched online to see what you can come up with?

Have they had you stop medications, ones that you can discontinue for a while, one at a time, to see what happens? Even meds we've taken for a while can suddenly affect us. (I took statins for years, then suddenly and unexpectedly had reactions to 2 of them I'd taken during that time.)

Have you eliminated, one at a time, products like lotions, bubble baths, or changed laundry detergents, fabric softeners?

YES..... I have been researching so much that my eyes now hate me, but over all what I keep coming up with is LUPUS, and that has been for the last 5 years with symptoms rising and still confirming Lupus.

I cannot really stop any of my meds - two are for my RA and I would be in wheel chair if I was to go with out then for even a week (and no telling how long it would take to get me better - or if I would even get better again) and the other med is for my Depression/PMDD and I fear I would be six feet under if I stopped it..... plus the Dermatologist says it is not due to an allergic reaction of any kind, based on a physical exam and blood test.

.......................... In a nut shell - It SUCKS to be ME!!!
