For anyone who is following my situation....
 

This is going to blow your mind!
The other day when sitting outside..... this happened to my youngest child's leg.

Now it is 3 of us.

What is going on?
I won't curse, but can I appropriately say "wtf"?

Have you checked for lyme symptomes,i now there are several strains of Borrelia species.

I thought maybe lyme with me, then maybe with my other child, but now three of us with the same rash in the sun. I'm thinking something environmental. So confusing.
They are ok, unlike me who is severely affected. I can only hope and pray it won't do to them what it did to me.

have you checked into hereditary skin rashes from sun exposure? I'm just thinking where you all three have it, it may be something hereditary.

We have never had it in our lives until this summer. It is just bizarre! I'm crazy trying to figure this out. It goes away when we get out of the sun in about 20-30 min and doesn't occur every time.

It makes sense that if it was a toxin it would occur whenever you were outside. Where it is only happening when you are in the sun, maybe google skin rashes from sun exposure and see if you can find something there.

Hi healthgirl

Just a maybe: Photosensitivity Dermatitis:

and another one:

I checked out everything I could find and went to the derm. He said it is levido, but can't figure out what is causing it in all of us. There is no itchiness or lesions. It is below the skin, so its not really like a regular rash.
It happens anywhere in the sun where ever.

Thanks Blues fan,
It isn't dermatitis but interestingly enough, as I was in the waiting room under a fluorescent light the other day, I was putting my palm of my hand facing down and then up. Every time I faced it up toward the light the skin mottled right before my eyes. I thought... nah... it can't be- but according to this link, fluorescent lights can cause the photosensitive reaction.
Crazy!
I'll point that out to the dr.
Now if they could just find out why our bodies are suddenly responding this way. :confused:

Not sure if that helps.

Sorry, I don't know about all your workup.
