>>Greeting to fellow breastfeeding supporters,
>>
>>My name is Renee Hefti - Graham from Vancouver, Canada.  I have been an RN 
>>and LC for a long time but have never posted on Lactnet.  I am pleased to 
>>recognize many of your names and some of you may recognize my name.  In 
>>the 90's, I managed the WABA Breastfeeding Booth at the ILCA Conferences. 
>>I spent 2 1/2 years working in the United Arab Emirates - was hired to 
>>implement the BFHI which was a wonderful experience.  Presently I teach 
>>prenatal bf classes (hospital) work casually as an LC (2 hospitals) and 
>>have a private bf practice in the Vancouver community.  I have never 
>>advertised my private practic (just word of mouth) as I don't want to get 
>>too busy as I provide free telelphone follow-up to my clients (the 
>>volunteer part of my job!)
>>
>>A client gives me permission to post:
>>
>>Severe PUPPS (pueperal urticaria of pregnancy) that started during the 
>>last 2 - 3 weeks of pregnancy.  The rash, that left scars on her ankles, 
>>was treated with steroid creams.
>>
>>Usually PUPPS disappears with delivery.  In the case of my client, it did 
>>subside but returned 2 weeks later.  She is now 3 weeks postpartum with 
>>severe discomfort from the itchy, hot rash over most of her body including 
>>the palms of her hands.
>>
>>She has tried all the usual suggestions: loose cool cotton clothing, 
>>oatmeal baths, cool cloths and increasting fluids.  She has seen a skin 
>>specialist who has ordered antihistamines, and steroid creams but nothing 
>>is helping. She has been told the PUPPS is because of bf hormones.
>>
>>Anyone have any suggestions?  There is lots posted on PUPPS prenatally but 
>>not much info for the post-partum woman.  I am encouraging her to have 
>>blood work done to rule out possible other causes.
>>
>>Sorry for the long first email, Renee
