Okay, so I've got these little red bumps...
 

On Monday I woke up with little red bumps on my hand. Which then spread to my forearm and my fingers. I'd had them after surgery in November, which disappeared after a few days.
So I called the pcp, who ordered a few clotting labs/tests. Haven't gotten called back yet for results. DH keeps asking me how they are, what I think it is, etc...
Now I wonder...does MS cause this? Do the DMDs cause this? I know it's called petechiae...
any info?

debbie,
i don't know for sure but it doesn't sound like MS.
the results should be ready in 48-72 hrs so call the dr's office if they don't call you.

let us know what it is, ok?

This website has the 84 causes of that rash.

Some say its an autoimmune thing, and others say its a blood clot disorder. Some say diet issues such a celieac or herpetaformis rash which indicates a gluten intolerance. The reasons why this can happen is a wide array of things. it does require investigation! please dont ignore it.

hugs for you. :hug:

Thanks, all...don't you feel at times that an alien has taken over your body?:rolleyes:

I have red spots all over my feet. Reading this thread reminded me of that. It looks just like the pictures of the petechiae. I guess the next time I go see my doctor, I'll have to ask him about it. Yay...that probably means tests...expensive ones. ~grumble~
