I'm afraid I don't know a whole lot about your condition, but it sounds serious and it is sad to hear esp. at this time of year. Happy Holidays!!! If possible that is.

I really sympathise, have never heard of this, but not really sure what your question actually is?

Not sure what your question is! Steven Johnson syndrome is a severe infection of the skin and underlying tissue. It may be a reaction to a drug. If in fact this is your diagnosis you would be in the hospital with IV antibiotics. Good luck!

Hi, sounds like you are having a rough time. I'm not sure what you are asking however ?
This link will give you some good, up to date information on the condition, hope it helps.
