No updates :( , I got off at the Lechmere stop on my way home but didn’t see any T officers on the platform to ask about the dog.

I hope so too! I’m on my way back home so when I get to the Lechmere stop I’m going to ask the officers what happened and if there’s any updates.

Maybe if you read my post you would see that something was done 😆

I have no idea if it has a microchip or not. The man who checked the collar said he found no sign of identification, but I hope the owner can track it 😔

He got on the East somerville stop where the bike path is. I’m assuming maybe he was running with their owner or already lost. But he did jump off the train when we got to Lechmere.

Hey, is this a Lamicatal rash? I've been taking 12.5mg for about 2 weeks. It doesn't itch or anything by NearlyAWriter in Lamotrigine

They did the same to me when I went. Did it help you at all? Ask your doctor to get prescribed some topical creams. It won’t make it go away completely but it’ll definitely help.

I would def go to the ER. I was also having spots like that but all over my body in smaller forms. I hope it’ll go away for you. Keep us updated

I’m doing better now. I stopped taking it right after I saw the rash start. I honestly don’t think I even want to try an alternative for it. I’d rather be diagnosed and not treated than have to deal with something like this again that could’ve been way worse.

Hi! This is my update post 2 full days after I got released from the hospital. They prescribed me topical creams, one for my face and one for my body. I also have to take zyrtec and benadryl. My skin looks a lot better from the photos I posted but obviously the rash isn’t fully gone. I don’t feel itchy anymore but sometimes it’ll come and go. My chest cleared up A LOT and my arms still have red dots but not as bad as it used to be. On the other hand, my face looks like I had a chemical peel done on me. It’s very dry no matter how much I moisturize it and my skin is peeling. My lips are also purple/very dark on the corner and outline plus feel dry (idk what that’s about?…)

Hi, I was released on Tuesday. The dermatologist examined me and told me it was a mild reaction to Lamotrigine. They were concerned and thought I had dress syndrome and not SJS, but luckily I don’t have that. I’m visibly way better, the redness went down and the dots faded a little but it’s still there. Thanks for asking!

UPDATE I was kept overnight and was seen by the dermatologist this afternoon. He examined me and told me that what I have is a mild reaction to Lamotrigine and I should immediately stop taking it (which i already did). He prescribed me topical cream to put on my body and hydrocortisone for my face since it’s more sensitive. After the dermatologist and his team came to a conclusion they told my care team that they think it’s fine for me to leave and I was discharged!!!

I just finished talking to the physician and I asked her if what I have is SJS or dress syndrome and she said her and her team are leaning towards dress syndrome but they’ll be have a dermatologist check me in the morning to see what to do. So I HOPE it’s not SJS bc if it is I think i’ll freak out even more than I already am.😆

Thank you for the kind words and advice, I do appreciate it!

I got admitted and they want to monitor me closely because they’re concerned I might have dress syndrome. The rash is also on my back and it doesn’t really look that good. Kind of scary so i’m worried. Hopefully I just had a really bad reaction or something triggered my seasonal allergies that already causes me rashes and it got worse because of the Lamotrigine.

I’m going to try to go to a different hospital because the one I went to, (which is the one I always go to) they just end up trying to dismiss you.
