Hi everyone, really looking for some advice. We are worried about our 2yr old daughter keira, she has beendiagnoise with juvenile arthritis about a year and half ago, she has 15 joints infected and has been to great ormand street and had those injected with steroids and is now on a methotrexate and upto about 3 weeks ago was great and was making great leaps forward. All of sudden she was scratching at her hands(palms) and the soles of her feet, red raw and the side of the hand has gone flaky and slighty cracked. She was admitted to hospital on friday and had some steriods via a drip and she has to go back on tuesday for another dose.
The doctors don't know exactly what it s but mentioned stills disease and also lupus. Tonight has to hae been the worse, she cried solid fr 30 mins because her feet are itching badly, she will sit on my lap and want me to scratch her soles! We dont know what to do for the best.
I'm reading about lupus andi'm starting to think this is what she has, she has a red rash aswell ad her hands and feet are hot to touch.
Anything people can suggest would be great. She is booked in for her arthritis at great ormand street on friday (which i can't wait to come)
Ive put some pics below, i wonder if someone an confirm or deny that it looks like lupus
thanks
