Listen: Forget about terminolog & rash. You need immediate treatment and close follow-up by rheumatolist and hematolist. It is not just the pain and swelling. Goal: avoid future and further complications of joint destructions, life threatening bleeding and clots. Go and get treated. Let us know if we can be of further assistance. Treatmant is available and succesful with minimal side effects, except cost.

Depends: Also consider food sensitivities and heavy metal overload. Both can be tested for. Do alcat for food, and post provocation urine heavy metals. Also replete magnesium with myer's cocktails.
