| 5 | urticaria, urticarial vasculitis | Mild haemolysis | Was the only drug added to others which has provided some relief for my 24/7 giant wheals which I had for 5 years before this drug | F | 50 | 3 years 100mg day | 1/3/2015 | 5 | Dermatitis Herpetiformus | Initially my white blood count was low off and on. Upon taking it for the first time my -entire- body, which was completely plagued with sores, was completely free of the DH in slightly over 2 weeks. | I was told to take it as needed for DH due to celiac. For some people with DH it cures the issue after some time, however, I can only go about 2 days without it after taking it for over a week. Upon the 2 days of missing it I find a few sores on my elbows, knees and, occasionally, scalp; I can feel the pain recede after taking it when I've gone too long without it. Unfortunately, I will be a life-time dependent on Dapsone. | F | 20 | 2 years 100 1X D | 7/20/2012 | 3 | Hives | Seems to work. | F | 46 | 3 weeks | 6/16/2006 | 4 | Undiagnosed skin condition | Diarrhoea / frequent lose bowel movements and soft stools / bloatedness. Some nerve tingling in legs. | The rash cleared almost immediately and the drug prevented further flare-ups. However, eventually the side effects were worse than the effects so I stopped. Now taking it again for PCP prophylactic. Ho-hum. | M | 34 | 16 years | 7/4/2004 | 4 | Dermatitis Herpetiformis | Possible sensory neuropathy, muscle cramps? | Cleared condition very well within a day or two, being evaluated for possible side effects mentioned, not sure this medication is the cause. | M | 47 | 2 years | 3/14/2004 | 3 | to prevent a form of pneumonia | none, but I am worried about the possibility that it is contributing to sensory neuropathy. | F | 65 | 2 years | 3/7/2004 | 1 | lupus | death | F | 25 | 4 days | 10/14/2003 | 3 | urtcaria | low red count, rapid heart rate, hair loss | wish there was a mdication for HIVES!!! | F | 52 | | 8/26/2003 |
