Disney vasculitis

I have been running and doing keep fit classes for the last 10 years or so, am 63 and reasonably fit. Last night I did two back to back classes and came home with an itchy rash on the lower part of my legs which I have self diagnosed as Disney vasculitis. I’ve never had anything like to before but the advice is to rest. Has anyone had this and if so what was the outcome? I’m really scared this is the end of my exercise regime!

Your best bet would be to get a proper diagnosis. It may well be something totally innocuous. It’s really easy to reach for Dr Google an d come up with all sorts of scary diagnoses when the actual problem is much more mundane. It must be a worrying time but it’s best to make sure you’re not worrying with no reason by seeing your gp.

Good luck with getting to the bottom of this and sending good wishes for it to settle down soon ❤️‍🩹

Thank you for the advice. I will go to my GP but I said suspect by the time I get an appointment it will have cleared up!
