a message from my daughter Alice

Dear All,

I was reading the RP post and I wanted to answers some of the questions.

Firstly it is the prednisolone that causes increased bruising and also

thinning of the skin. Prednisolone thins the blood vessel walls making

them more prone to rupturing when pressure is applied. My mother can get

some spectacular bruises. Skin does become thinner and more translucent.

Secondly, you can have more than one autoimmune disease. In fact as there

is often a genetic predisposition to most autoimmune diseases, it is highly

likely that you'll suffer from more than one. My survey results showed

that 50% of you suffered from another autoimmune disease, with vasculitis

and episcleritis being the most common.

Hope that clarified a few points.

Hi Alice,

Hope you get a great grade on your research of RP.

I guess because I am new to this I must ask what episcleritis is. I

have vasculitis, and thought that was all part of the RP, not a

separate autoimmune disease. Also, is there anything that can be

done for the thinning of the skin. Mine breaks with just the

slightest injury. I use a real good lotion, Cetaphil, but that

doesn't do much except keep my skin from being dry. Suggestions from

anyone about this would be most welcome.

Beautiful weather here in Washington today. Must be close to 72

degrees. I love this. Flowers are blooming and the trees are

budding out. Hope everyone is feeling well. Marilyn
