Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 It looks like a sunburn with tiny spots. I currently look as if I have a really good shiner but don't. When I went through the phase of the sore throat, it may have been a rash in my throat? I never even thought of that. I had red spots in it and no white spots like I get with strep. Not overly red though. My eyelids are okay , not red or purple, I do have 3 tenglas? spots on my face and one on my knuckle. Sometimes my hands look like they have a rash as well. My knuckles will be pinkish or red on all of them. I have looked endlessly at pictures of clubbing since this all has coinsided since the RF+. For example when I did see the rheumy years ago I was RF- after being + and that was approximately when the so called clubbing started. I have no flattening of the nail, no rounded or spooning of my fingers involved and it can move to other fingers? I thought it was an infection like yeast and of course just get the brush off with no biopsy. The only picture I found that is close if of periungeal lupus of the fingers. It looks more like nail fold maceration to me? The fatique is the butt-kicker with all of this let me tell ya! I fell like 100 years old in a flare. Injuries can throw me into flares too. I just got over tendonitis only to go to sleep with little or no activity prior to wake up every other day with it right back to square one after extensive therapy. That is on the side where my ankle is deformed. --- <Matsumura_Clan@...> wrote: > Does the rash look purplish at all, Kim? > > Are your eyelids a normal color?

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Kim, When you say it looks as if you have a shiner, do you mean one eye only? Do you have swelling? Discoloration?

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Yes, just one eye and it is discolored like a vitamin defect or something. Looks like I got knocked the hell out! It is better now. I get really watery itchy eyes, so I don't know if it is from rubbing it or what? It is under the eye and is maybe purplish a bit and blackish? Wierd, hunh?
