Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 This message hasn't posted on the boards and I don't see it. Sorry for the 3rd repost. I had to remove the pictures but if you go to my Picture Folder you can see the old and new pics.I called Dr's office upset. They said the Dr. is addressing it and he will be calling me. Jerk! Thanks, Lorrie Help?!? Hi Everyone, I am in need of some help here. I am waiting for my darn Dr's (GP) office to call me back. I just got over being so ill from the Cedar Fever here, although this morning I woke up with a stuffy head and a little bit of an irritated throat. Last Saturday, I started itching real bad on my hands, wrists, stomach, back, etc. I got some welps and bubbles. Then they went away. This has been off and on ever since. Last night though, Oh man! I started itching on my hands and feet and on the lower front of my shins. My right front leg was very red and started to swell. The skin there and on the top of my right hand is so sensitive, like it burns, and it hurts SO MUCH just to touch it. I thought this must be hives, but I have never had hives before, so why now? What is happening to me? I had the one nodule on my lower left outer calf biopsied on 12/21/05 and I posted a pic of it 10 days after the sutures were removed. See this picture.. Its drying nicely, seems to be on it's way to healing.. This is the same nodule as of last night. It's all red, warm and it looks like it's getting infected doesn't it? Or, is this normal stages? The ulcerating part of the disease?? Is it ulcerating? Could I have some kind of infection that's running through my bloodstream that is causing this terrible itching? I never went to sleep until 6:30 a.m. this morning. I am so frustrated. I was rolling around in my bed last night in tears I was so miserable. I even went to www.rx.com and put in ALL the RX pills (about 14) I am taking right now to see if there were any contraindications. There weren't any that had anything to do with itching, redness, or swelling. ALSO! It looked and felt like I was getting fever blisters on my lower lip. Both the upper and lower lips swelled up last night. The lower lip is still a little swollen today. Both lips on the left side mostly. This is so weird. I am so frustrated and irritated. I can't believe after calling the Dr.'s office and telling them this that they didn't call back immediately. What IF I was having an allergic reaction? The idiots. That coupled with the fact that I have been waiting for my GP to call my old Rheumatologist, the one that wouldn't see me anymore cause I haven't seen him in a few years and he's not taking anymore patients. He was the only one that has treated me for this Erythema Induratum! How can I be a new patient, when I have seen him since 1992!! Ugh! Now, I have been passed off to his associate, and he won't see me until 1/30/06! My GP was supposed to have called him to see WHY they won't see me sooner. I think this is important don't you all? I called and spoke to my GP's nurse a few days ago, and she told me he has called several times, and he still hasn't been able to talk to him. What Dr. doesn't take another Physicians calls!?! I know when I am at my GP's office, if he get's a call, he says, " excuse me, I need to take this call " and he takes it! Anyways, thanks for listening.. I am just so upset and angry... Not to mention, I feel like I have poison ivy or something..or a dog with flea's. Lorrie Anne Quote
