@aspyres
I get weird rashes on my hands,my skin peals off and it looks like I have burns around my fingers,doctors are still working on that one,have a steroid ointment to use but the rash always comes back.
Right now I have hydroxychloroquine,prednisone,naproxen(been taking it for over a year now).
They started me on the prednisone over a year ago when they started thinking I might have RP,can't stand it though put on a bunch of weight and made me dehydrated all the time.

@chip13 I understand about the prednisone, it is definitely a struggle with weight and the dehydration too.
I did try hydroxychloroquine early on, but it caused me to have rashes.
Ibuprofen also triggers my vasculitis rashes, so I can only use Tylenol for my pain, so that is why I asked to try the Low Dose Naltrexone. It has helped a good amount.
Now if I can just taper off the steroids, but every time I get down to 5mg I start having problems again.
Praying they figure out the rashes on your hands/fingers. I am sure those are terribly uncomfortable.
