Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Kelli Not everybody gets a puffy face. I was one of the lucky ones. I did gain weight but as the pred was lowered and I began to run the pounds began to come off. I still have a way to go but things look good. I started a running program with my daughter. It was a hard go at first but now I enjoy it. after 51 years of a lazy life I was the most surprised of all that I stuck with it. I am glad that you are feeling good these days. When you start your daycare don't worry too much about the immune thing. I teach grade one children and with the exception of one cold I have not been ill at all since I was diagnosed in December of 2003. I am taking 5 mg of pred now and 125mg of imuran. By the way I too am a Canadian from Toronto. Take care! ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals..ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Hi Kelli and its nice to see where people are from - actually I live in Cambridge not too far from you. As for the puffy face, mine did puff up at 40mg but by the time I got down to 20 it was gone. I think at first we do worry about catching germs until we settle down. Keeping away from anyone who is sick and washing hands all the time has kept me healthier - this is the first winter where I did not end up with a bad cold/flu.

His face got puffy. More so than the swollen lymph glands in his neck. His family doc thought at first he had an eye infection, one eye was so puffy.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 has blue/dark circles under his eyes all the time. His skin is also very pale and appears to have a circulation problem. I notice a lacey blue undertone beneath his pale skin on his entire body. Does anyone else notice this on their child? > > sometimes my boy gets a puffy face and blackrings under eyes . thats one of > the signs the dr. looks at when he first looks at him . he can tell how bad > he feels. > > > ************************************** > See what's free at > http://www.aol.com. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 When has fever episodes his cheeks turn bright, cherry-red too. It's usually my first clue that an episode is starting again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I don't notice the blue undertone necessarily - but Dani is vey pale and seems slightly puffy (bloated like) and ghostly pale during an episode. She's quite pale the rest of the time - but so am I!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 That used to hapen to Dani, too! I'd asked once on the board, but no one else resonded with that. We haven't seen it recently, however.
