Hello, new to this site so bare with me 
About 4 years I was diagnosed with epilepsy, after having loads of seizues. I am on medication for them and things have improved.
About 3 years ago while I was on holiday abroad I came out in a butterfly rash on my face, a rash on my palms of hands and soles of feet, and a rash on my legs and arms. My eye became very sore and swollen, my wrist and thumb swelled and my epilepsy went on overload. I also had an awful headache and my back ached loads. I was sick quite a bit too. I went to a doctor in Cyprus and he thought I had an alergic reaction to something. Every time I went out it became worse.
I got home 2 weeks later and everything died down. My GP just put it down to an allergic reaction. The rash had completely gone by this point.
Last sunday the same thing happened, but started with my eye. I thought I had conjuncivitis, my GP sent me to the hospital because he thought it was Irisitis. Hospital just said an infection, by the time I got home the same rash had appeared on my cheeks and nose and palms of hands. I was sick a few times but today, a week later the rashes have gone.
Lupus has been discussed before but I thought the butterfly rash would last longer. First time it lasted 2 weeks, this time 1 week. Is it varying on how long people's rashes last for?
Thanks, sorry rambled on a bit!
