I have heard of many arthritis suffers developing rashes but once again thought, oh, not Trevor, "that is a different kind of JA." Actually the Friday before his appointment he had just gotten this red dot rash on both ankles. No pain, no itching, nothing else. The doctor did look at them. Now that is gone (only latest about 3 days) but he has a rough feeling around the same spot on both of his ankles. And these itch!! What is this???? Everyday, it seems like it is something else. When is this all going to stop???? I am trying to keep a positive attitude but I just don't understand when things will go back to normal. I hear all of these stories of families with children so much worse than Trevor and am thankful that he is "not so bad," but it really scares me that in a few months or years, he is going to be right there with these other children.
He started the Celebrex again today and so far his stomach does not seem to bother him. I hope that continues and he starts to see a little relief from the Celebrex, at least until he gets started on the Remicade.
Tomorrow is World Arthritis Day and I am encouraging everyone to wear blue for arthritis!!!
