For the past 2 yrs. I have been experiencing what I have assumed where some kind of bug bites, similar to a mosquito bite, yet the bites appears right before my very eyes and itches much worse, until the bite is bleeding and even after that, they still itch. My house is extremely clean and no one else in my household has these bites except me. They actually leave scars on my skin from scratching them. I've just learned about SJS, and I'm wondering if this is one of the symptoms of SJS? I am not Asian. I am mostly white, with some Hebrew ancesetory.

I have adusted my diet and I am on several antihistamines that don't alwys help. They may go away for a few weeks but return again. during these times I have flu-like symptoms. The tegratol toped working in 2007. I began having seizures again. My doctor switched me to keppra. The hives continue. Is this a symptom of SJS . Even if you stop use of the drug will you continue to have symptoms?? Could my hive issues be related to the 18 years a used tegratol? I would like to know more.

If so, I need be referred to an attorney in the Joplin MO area. My wife has been on tegretol for 25 years and has tried suicide several times almost succeeding once. She still has a few extreme mood swings. She also went through some skin broozing for no apparent reason several years ago before dose reduction took place.She is not of asian decent.Thank you Gentlemen,
