Hi there, could this be a butterfly rash? I need to continue to wear sunscreen all through the winter, despite the rain etc... maybe worth a try.

I think it more likely to be Lupus rather than chocolate. It's probably the malar rash.

Hi. Is this a medical condition that needs a doctors attention?.

Let it not be the chocolate...that's one of lifes little pleasures:) I have not had that face rash yet...but if I use too much salt I sure pay for it now...not only do I bloat in my gut and eyelids, hands etc...but my stomach actually hurts after...not nice (no more salt shaker)..just maybe a bit in the foods I buy. Not sure if it just the lupus doin it, cause also post menopause about 3 years...and have wacky thyroid...

Hi. I have no problem with salt. Although I do feel like

I'm going to collapse every

now and again. This could

be that I haven't eaten enough.

yup..if u stand up and have to hang on to something, or have to close your eyes...that's from losing weight too fast /not eating enough maybe...or and low blood sugar.

Diabetic as one of my parents where and my sister suffers from the same condition.

you should get it checked out for sure then...

Especially if you get thirsty a lot..or blurred vision, but especially if it runs in your family...then you wont worry,you will know one way or another.

My Dad use to get low blood sugar...think I get that easy..get shakey, horrible body feeling...

Hi. Yes I do drink a lot of water and suffer blurred vision. I put this down to

watching the laptop screen

to long or iPhone. I can't

focus on people a couple

of feet away.
