I am so sorry, Bigi. You have a lot on your plate already, and now you have giref to deal with, too. I will pray for you and your family, and I hope you call your RD to report that rash. As difficult as it may be, you need to try to take care of yourself so that you can get through this difficult time.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. My mother passed away 3 years ago tomorrow. I will pray for your family. I can relate also to the pain in your feet/ankles. Don't know about the rash. You will have to try and slip in a Dr. appointment some how.... Keep look'n up, hugs

Sorry to hear about your MIL. Hugs and prayers.

And the rash sounds strange. If it itched, I would say allergic, because they can often start in the feet and work their way up. I have eczema right now, where I got a slight burn on my back, but it itches. Let us know if you find out what it is.

So sorry, Bigi. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your husband and family.

Do try to, at least ring and talk to your Rheumy about the rash. I am glad it isn't itchy.
Hugs

so sorry for this sad news, you and your family will be in my prayers

I am so sorry and I will say a prayer for you and your family. My Mom also passed away on 9-11 14 years ago. Maybe your rash is the result of the added stress you are going through right now. Stress can pop its head in many ways.

I hope you and your family find you way through this sad time.
