I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia two years ago. An autoimmune disorder has been suspected, I was told by an ER doctor he thought it was a collagen vascular disorder, possibly Lupus. No diagnosis of autoimmune yet. I take birth control pills, Effexor, Topimax. I have been taking these meds for about four years with no problems. my biggest concern is how long the bruising is lasting and having a rash covering the bruising. That has never happened.

Looking at the rash it looks purpuric rash with superimposed fungal infection may be which is leading to itching . Sometimes birth control pills can lead to this also but doesnt seem to be because of that . I would also like to know your ANA and platelet count reports . Yes lupus need to be ruled out . Did you have any blood tests recently if yes then please send me those .
Take care.
