Hi, my son is 19. He first had HSP aged 8. It lasted about four months and no one really knew what to do with him. He had no treatment, luckily he had no renal issues and all seemed ok. Aged 10 he had another minor flare up. Then all was well. In the meantime my daughter aged 20 got it and was quite ill but again no left over concerns.

My son now 19 has had another flare up which started in early November. So now five months later we have spots swollen joints and generally unwell. Off to the GP today as this is unusual and going on too long!

Would value opinions. X
