no, i didn't get the rash but i was terrified of getting it. sorry it happened to you. i have heard that they take you off the med immediately when you have the rash ... also if you're feeling it in your throat & nose and have flu-like symptoms you have to go to the ER right away.

Been on it for a year and no rashes. But, I just found out I'm alergic to shellfish. Sigh, grew up on the gulf coast. Remember Bubba from Forest Gump? Nothing better than shrimp.

And last week, I had one lobster wonton, just one, and my throat almost closed up!

Lots of meds around nowdays. You'll find something that'll work.

yes,if you don't have an appointment really SOON, go to the ER or call your pdoc for a checkup right away. A rash is a bad sign, so you don't want to wait more than a few days if possible.

I'm sure they'll find another med that will work better for you! *hugs*
