Bah I have a rash on my arms and parts of my face, ive noticed it gets
very aggrivated when im in the sun. I am currently on Enbrel, Cymbalta,
Prednisone, Flexeril, Paxil, Synthroid, Prilosec. Im wondering which
one of these is causing this. Any Ideas? I'm itchy!!!! What a way to
spend my b-day.
Happy Birthday! Sorry you're itchy - can you take Benadryl?
I looked up a few drug reactions to see what could cause rash - Enbrel, yes. Cymbalta, yes (common). Flexaril, yes (rare). I quit after those three. I didn't check pred because it is often used to treat rashes. If I were you I'd call the pharmacist and RD. Rashes can be the first sign of an allergic reaction - usually nothing serious, but worth checking out.
In case you're wondering who the hell I am, and why I care, I was on the old AI boards for a long time - Wayney and Janis know me well.
Take care!

Happy bday! The rash canbe caused from any of those like zzoi said. TYpically you are better off to remain out of the sun, wear sunscreen cause , goodness, we have enough probs with the Rheumatoid, don't need skin cancer as well. SOunds like a reaction to the sun, I used to get the same thing and actually my sister just had a rash form from the sun and all we were doing was setting up a garage sale ( never again, I have been in bed since, worn out!)
Get to the Dr., or show your pharmacist, get on some Benedryl......
Happy BirthdayJealousy!!!
