Has anyone else started a red dot with MAI meds?
After a month on meds, suffering from severe constipation and lack of sleep, I have now developed a red pinpoint body rash. (torso, legs and ankles too).
Anyone else experience that?

4 Reactions@roslynroslyn got home at 4:50 am. Emergency dr ordered specialized blood test and told me to come back this am. I’m here now to see allergist and allergy/ immunologist. Will be a long morning 😟but I’m happy they coordinated everything.
Thank you all☺️

I’m waiting in emergency for the ID dr now. Saw allergist this morning. I don’t know how to attach photo of rash but every doctor is shocked. That says something.

4 ReactionsWOW! What a relief your daughter joined you. That’s some rash. So glad you are getting it checked out. Hope you get some answers soon.
@scoop allergist and infectious diseases said stop meds (which I had) try reactin or Benadryl. I take the latter.
Cortisone cream
1 for face… 1 for torso.
He said no danger now that it’s been checked. (Many blood tests). If any changes, come back to emergency. I spent 12 hrs in emergency over the last 20 hrs. I’m exhausted but happy I went. My little Chi wasn’t so happy.
Everything in one place😊

Curious to know, Did the 2 drugs get rid of your MAC?
