Rash...

Well, all of a sudden last night, I broke out with a rash all over my forearms. Not itchy, just a little, but I don't know what it is. I started taking 800 mg ibuprofen 3x a day about a week ago. I don't have a diagnosis yet, so my primary doctor said to try the ibuprofen. It seems to help a little with the fevers and headache, but now I think I am allergic. Any one ever had a rash like this??

I was put on Plaquenil and about two weeks into it I got a wicked case of the hives. I even had them between my toes. I'm on nothing but Prednisone now. Allergic generally means swelling. Benadryl will usually take care of that but you (if like me) will be a zombie. I try the less is better if at all possible. The more I rub or itch the worse I feel. It has taught me patience.
