@saraga, this must be so hard to watch your family member suffer. I moved your message to this existing discussion:
- Henoch Schonlein Purpura IGA Vasculitis Adult - Others out there?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/henoch-schonlein-purpura-iga-vasculitis-adult-others-out-there/

I did this so you can connect with other members like @radicchi @gelysaleigh @junetooth who can share their experiences.

Was your family member diagnosed by a rheumatologist? Rheumatology typically diagnoses and treats Henoch-Schonlein purpura (also known as IgA vasculitis). Is his doctor thinking he may not have HSP?
