  1. Thank you so much for your support you can't know what it means to me to know I am not alone! I was in tears today when my husband got home from work, he is at a loss as to what to do and feels completely helpless. I thought staying on the gluten until my dr apt would at least give the dermatologist something to see. I was thinking that he would look at...
  2. I am on day 2 of no prednisone and my skin is going crazy....it stings it burns and it itches so so so much!!! I cannot begin to tell you how uncomfortable I am! I don't know if I will last until the dermatology appointment. I am trying the Epsom salts and the ice packs but it isn't beginning to ease this discomfort. I need to be on the gluten until the...

  4. I have created a photo bucket account and have moved pictures to it but for some reason I still cant get my pics uploaded to this forum...any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
  5. Well I am going to stop the prednisone now, its now or in a few days so I may as well deal with this flare and get it over with. I will stay on gluten until my appointment because at least then the rash will be in full bloom when I go to the drs. Hopefully this doc is clued in about this disease and may be able to at least acknowledge the possibility of...
  6. Thankyou for your input, I think I can manage 3 weeks with the gluten until my appointment then I will go gluten free. I will attempt to explain the situation to the dermatologist and hope that he/she has a good knowledge base of this disease. No matter what he outcome, Feb 20 I am gluten free and I will see how that works for me. In the meantime I am glad...
  7. Good Morning Squirmingitch, I live in Canada, the west coast now. I was born in England and moved here as a child. I have 2 children both are grown and in their late 20's. I don't know if any of my close relatives has celiac however my grandmother on my mom's side passed away from colon cancer, not sure if that could have been from an undiagnosed case...
  8. One more thing before I go to bed....I have been eating gluten light for sure the past few days because I am terrified of eating the full on gluten in case my skin goes berserk. I did have a couple of beers on Saturday and on Sunday I was ready to crawl out of my skin. I am not sure if it was the beer because I am not even sure this is DH but if it was...
  9. Squirmingitch and Becky thankyou both for your information. I am left now with a decision to make so maybe you can help me make the best choice. If the prednisone is going to produce a false negative, for this disease should I go ahead and start a gluten free diet now or will eating gluten show some positive result from a test even if the prednisone produces...
  10. Hi Becky, you are completely describing me! I developed my rash last September and have been to the doctors 7 times and have run the gamut of creams and antihistamines etc, I even did a scabies treatment, all to no avail. I am going to see the dermatologist next month and I am literally counting down the days. My sores like yours do not seem to be blisters...
  11. Hi I am a newbie looking for hope. I developed a rash almost six months ago and have been battling the most intense itch. I have been to the doctor no less than 7 times in the last 4 months and have been given a different diagnosis each time. Excema, staph infection, SCABIES (an unbelievable diagnosis that had me running around like an idiot!), contact...
