auto immune reaction targets youngest child.

Date:   5/19/2006 2:59:15 PM ( 18 y ago)

the six year old woke up on 05/15/06 with a swollen mid-lower back without apparent trauma to the area. the pain kept him from movement. the family allowed the use of arnica & other homeopathic remedies that fit the symptoms to be used.

by day two the back swelling & pain subsided, but a "rash" more like small non raised blood blisters occured. as did pain down both legs.
new swellings began in small areas of the lower legs.

there has been no sign of fever nor loss of appetite.

by day three the parents agreed to medical treatment. all vitals were within normal range. but the visit was discouraging to say the least.
leaving with a possible diagnosis of henoch-schonlein purpura.
an apparent autoimmune reaction in the blood vessels.

now heres what i believe.
the child was playing on the trampoline & climbing fences the night prior.
possible pinch'd nerve?
causing minimal circulation down the legs?

does anyone have some helpful understandings of what could be going on
& how to encourage healing.
i am open to all suggestions.
thank you kindly.
