Diagnosis on the Lamictal ADR rash... [View all]

So I saw my GP this afternoon- God how I love that man!
Diagnosis: Not the deadly rashes, but as he put it,
"A drug induced Lupus rash."

He said it is VERY rare- so much so that he called
his associate in to see it.

They couldn't believe it was induced by ONE 25mg dose.

Filing an ADR with Glaxco & Company.

They took about 5 blood samples and gave me a cortisone shot.
He said it should clear in a few days now.

Amazing- I just happen to be in the smallest percentage of people
who have this particular reaction to the drug.

Lucky me, eh?
