Billie... This sounds like an allergic reaction to me. Is it possible that those "rubber" gloves you mention are actually LATEX? If so, you may be having an allergic reaction to the gloves themselves, as latex allergy appears to be rather common lately in many individuals. Hoping ya get to the source of the problem real soon...

At first he thought it was because of too much ibuprofen so stopped that and it helped some but ... My skin splits open and bleeds at the slightest touch (even rubber gloves two sizes too big or removing a band-aid cause this to happen). It is only on my arms (from wrist to shoulder) and backs of my hands. About 3/4 weeks ago dr stopped all meds except the following: parlodel 2.5MG 3 per day; metoprolol (lopressor) 50 MG 1/2 per day; furosemide(lasix) 40MG 2 per day; prilosec 20 MG CR 1 per day; verapamil SR (calan SR) 240MG 1/day; propax-N/APA tab (darvocet-N) 100/650 2 every 4 hours; alprazolem (xanax) 0.25MG 1/2 per day. Does anybody have a clue to what's happening? I'm getting to the point where I'm afraid to even get out of bed. It can't be because I move too fast--I'm a parkie and even a turtle could beat me. Help please! Billie Cook in TX
