OPooh Report post Posted January 4, 2006 I had a text off Kris to say that Rhys is very ill in hospital since the 27th of December. That he has Stephen Johnson Syndrome. She just rang me to say that he's on the mend but by no means well. He's been very brave and is on morphine. They don't know how long it will be but he is recovering....it could take months. She sends her love to all. His school sent a whole load of get well cards - so that was lovely. ~ ~ ~ I personally had never heard of the syndrome and this is what I've found so far: What is Stephens Johnson Syndrome? Stevens Johnson Syndrome is an extreme allergic reaction to chemicals. Common causes include the drugs Arava (leflunomide), some painkillers, and many antibiotics. Unfortunately, Bextra has now been added to the list of chemicals that can cause this potentially life threatening syndrome. http://www.sjsclaims.com/ <<< another site with info. Symptoms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome include blistering, fever, coughing, general malaise, swelling and lesions of gums, tongue, or lips, excessive tearing up of, or "stickiness" of, the eyes, and sores in the genital tract that cause painful urination.
