Title: peticiae around the eyes ?
Post by: jonnell on June 22, 2009, 12:05:33 PM
Hi its Jennas mom again,  Jenna is getting over what we believe to be a flare.  Today she has peticiae all around and under her eyelids does any one know what that might be from or if i should be concerned.

I don't know what this might be - have you called the doctor to come and see her?  Hope she is feeling better soon.  xx

Blisters sound more like a bad infection than a flare.  I would call her doc asap!  We with chronic illness have to always be wary that we don't chalk up everything to Sjogren's.  Sometimes we get sick with other things too, you know?

In any case, I hope she feels better really soon!

Thank you I called and they put her on a antibiotic right away.  I hope she starts feeling better.

Hi Jonnell,

Has Jenna's rheumy seen her since she's been ill this time? 

Give that gal a hug from me and hang in there -
