Wanted to share with you all!!

So I was looking up symptoms of lupus and u found this extremely interesting! I read online that some people with lupus have Livedo reticularis. Now I was in udder shock because I just discovered I have Livedo reticularis my mother has always made fun of me halfhearted at the doctors when I was little because if get these purple lacy like pattern all over my legs and arms and hands only to read and see a picture of this condition only to now realize I have it! So I thought I'd share this because you to might find that you have this condition to I think it's definitely something to bring up to your doctor! Haha ok end of rant.

Welcome to our forum Dianax3. I know what livedo reticularis is, but I sure lots of folks on the forum don't know. Thank you so much for sharing. I know each of these pieces of info help others! Love, Butterflake

I have it too and for years thought my skin was just really translucent and in need of a tan lol!! My rheumy told me what it was and I was like "ohhhhhhh!" she said it's generally a benign condition and just another of these lovely if not mysterious rashes of connective tissue disease. The cold will bring it out more apparently. I have raynauds as well and a severe allergy to cold temperatures. I wonder if they are all somehow connected since they are triggered by cold.

Yes, you should bring it up to your doctor, preferably your rheumatologist if you have one. Take a picture of it when you have it in case it isn't there when you go to your appointment. :)
