Did I ever tell you guys/gals I am so glad you are here and that I found y'all? Well, I am! It is so good not to be just trying to muddle through and know that so many of us share the same problems, joys and determination even in (or because of it) the face of such adversity. Each and every one of you is, indeed, a blessing!
And now that I've got you all buttered up! Hahahahahahaha :o)
I have this question....
I have been having this rash all over my body that itches like crazy. It comes and goes, sorta like hives and breaks out in welts, too. It reminds me of when I was little and would eat strawberries - loved them so, that I kept on itching.....but that is a different story for a different day! :o)
Anyway, am wondering if this could be a reaction of some sort to my medication, though it is the same stuff (Albuterol, Ipatrobium, Flovent & Xopenex) I have been taking for a very long time with the exception of the Xopenex and that has been for a month.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated...."cause it's really hard to type with one hand and scratch with the other!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
you must have been more miserable as I was on Spriva.
I do wish I could blame this rash on it, but I quit the Spriva about two weeks ago and the rash is here and now. I certainly hope it's not the Albuterol!
Thought of laundry soaps, etc. but no new changes there. Tis a puzzle!
