I caught Fifth's Disease from my 2 year old Nephew!!!
For the past week I have been in soo much pain. I have had arthritis like symptoms in my hips, knees and ankles. By the end of the day I can barely walk. I went to my Doctor today. He asked if I had been around a child who had it. I said that I didn't know what it was. He explained that in a child, it is flushed cheeks and a lacey rash all over the body. That was my nephew who visiting from Denver to a t.....
The Doctor said, it is just a rash and sometimes a low grade fever in kids. In adults, it is arthritis like symptoms for about a month. He took a blood test to confirm, and I have to take steriods for a week....Some luck I have!!!
Did any of you ever get this??? If so, how long till the pain goes away??
