Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hi Guys, I know this is not really JRA related, but it concerns Nicks health and i wanted to run something by you all in case you have come across this. On Saturday we were at a family members house for Christmas. We have visited this house before, but not spent soo much time indoors. After being there for 6 hours, Nick comes up to me and says his eyes hurt.. within a matter of minutes, his eyes and lips started to swell, his whole face swelled, but his eyes and lips were the worse. I would say his lips were 3x their normal size and his eyes were nearly swollen shut. After talking to the nurseline we gave him benadryl ( after driving all over the boonies to find some at 9.30 at night, we were an hour north of our place out in the country) and he did better, although his eyes didnt completely go down till 24 hours later. We have no idea what could have caused this allergic reaction...we stopped his amoxacillin ( started on wed for strep) he was around smoke and cats ( done this before with no problem) and only new food eaten that we could work out was caraway seeds in some bread. My question is that since your kids were dx with JRA do they seem to get some weird stuff going on???? I really dont know whats going on with poor Nick but it seems like one thing after another.. hes really not looking his normal self, i cant put my finger on it, but hes just not " right " if that makes sense! just wondering what you all think???
