Hi my daughter has just come home from hospital after developing HSP on Sunday 8th April, she had had leaking kidneys and bowel problems! But hopefully on the mend! She is very swollen (almost double her size) and I wondered if anyone else’s child suffered with the swelling and how long it lasted? As it’s not showing signs of going also they have said when she moves round but she is so weak she can’t move around a lot! Many thanks

    Hi my daughters swelling was awful, everytime soemthing went down another part would swell. When she slept something new would swell. They said she had one of the worst cases with swelling they had seen and it lasted about 3 weeks I think. I couldn’t touch her as she was that swollen and in that much pain. I hope your little girl makes a fast recovery.

    Hi her rash went on forever it felt like appearing in new places. Her legs and feet and her bottom were affected the most.  Do you have an email address as I could send you some pictures over of how hers was if that helps. Thanks Danielle xx
