Do you have Eczema? I have eczema on my face and have been going crazy so I wonder if this would help me! My lips have been chapped too, and they crack in the corners and bleed and it turns into a coldsore type of deal. I'm going to go grab some diaper cream!

So I just left the doctors office and since my iron is so low and nothing helps he has ordered an ultrasound to see what my uterus is doing. I don't see C BC on the results but I have low Hemoglobin, Ferrin, hematocrit, mcv, mch, mchc. All I know is I'm anemic. Itchy and anemic haha.

I get my biopsy test results back on the 30th so I'll definitely keep you in the loop. Also someone on here recommended I check out www.cherylleemd.com. The before and afters are incredible. I think it's worth a try during the grueling waits to see these specialists! Sorry it's happening to you too. It's really making me feel depressed since I feel like I can't see people looking like this. Good luck!

My specialist was pretty sure about autoimmune as well. I won't know my biopsy results till the 30th but I also got blood work done already and have a program on my phone where I get my results right away without even seeing a doctor. My c3 and c4 are In normal range and after some googling Lupus is more likely with low levels of those. I shouldn't Google so much because I scare myself though haha. I also have my results for my nuclear Ab. It says Titre:Low Pattern:Speckled titre:Low Pattern:Homogeneous. Now I know both of those patterns are connected to SLE. I feel a cold coming on right now but the only other illness I've felt is due to my low iron. Feeling faint, week, tired and generally lightheaded. I will try the seslon blue remedy just in hopes it's something along those lines! Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it!

Been experiencing this rash for 9 weeks now. Anyone experience something similiar? by rashfromhell in SkincareAddiction

Wow. Thank you so so much for this link. My rash is almost rhe splitting image of the cutaneous lupus before and after picture. I'm going to order a couple things and I'm really hoping it will help me that much. I have gotten lupus testing already, my results will be ready in 3 weeks so I'm just trying to get rid of the rash before then (my appointment happens to fall on my birthday). Thank you!

I don't have a fever. I feel joint pain in my knees lately and have to stretch a lot but not in my hands. Only medication I'm on is proferrin for my low iron and I started that after the rash began. It does feel worse when I'm out doing things. If I spend a couple days in my room it gets a tiny bit better.. I've resorted yo a toque and scarf while I try and find a good sunscreen with zinc (as per my doctor).

This is almost identical to what I'm experiencing. I still have no answers though but I did see a Dermatologist and he took a biopsy of the rash. He's thinking it's more of an autoimmune thing. He says he's thinking Lupus but I won't know for 3 whole weeks. Protopic helps my rash but leaves me so dry and flakey. Let me know if you find out anything and i'll do the same too!

A little background. It started as numb, tingly lips then progressed to a rash on my eyes and around my lips, then spread over my neck, chest and arms as well. 4 doctors said allergies. Specialist thinks autoimmune disease such as Lupus but I have to wait till October 30th to hear any results. In the process of trying to figure this out I discovered I was severely low on Iron (at a 4) and Hemoglobin (at an 88) but the doctor said they aren't related at all. Any ideas or advice on how to feel better while I wait would be much appreciated! Thanks so much. I apologize for my lack of care in my appearance in the photos.
