RASH

Last Friday I thought I was coming down with a cold. Ds had had one and so figured that was why I was not feeling well. Did get some flu cold like symptoms but on Saturday afternoon I began to get a rash on my stomach.  Was not real itchy but by Sunday morning it was speading up to my chest area and some on the inner part of my upper arms. Called the Dr office on Monday they said they would call me back. Didn't hear from them until this morning. Seems to  be an allergic reaction to something and now resembles having a sunburn which is also now on my nose and cheeks. The rash is very fine. So Dr said to take Zyrtec for two weeks and see if that helps it go away. I feel ok just a bit itchy and scratchy. I have not changed any thing that I normally use on my skin or clothes. Have no food allergies that I know of so guess will just have to see if the Zyrtec works. Dr did say if not better in one week to give him a call or if other symptoms show up.


Took the first one this afternoon so we shall see.

Well, that's good but the question still remains as to what caused it in the first place.... HUGS!

Very true Gabby but the rash is just another symptom in what seems to be turning into the flu. I feel much

Sounds more like a viral infection which needs to run its course. Get well soon.

Hi Bernie


I am beginning to think that is the problem. Feeling much improved today so hopefully it is finally getting out of this body.
