Hi Everyone! I don't post often but I do tend to check in with the board at least once a week, I hope everyone is doing well.
A little history, I found out in 3/09 that I have ITP, had a great response to Rituxin, and have decent counts (50K-80K) for almost 2 years now. In 9/09 they decided that I also have a connective tissue disorder and I have some joint and skin issues that go along with that.
I have noticed a trend over the past few years that I wondered if anyone else had a problem with...swelling. Not just like joints, I have that too, but if I go to the dentist for a filling my face will swell, if I have any kind of minor trauma, bad bump whatever, it will swell. I got a tattoo, it swelled, if I do to much with my hands they will swell (I'm a stylist and busy days will make my hands puffy) I got a facial peel, I had swelling from that. I was just wondering if anyone has the same issue? Just wondering...
Thanks,
Andra
