My doctor believes me to be allergic to sulfa as every medication that I have had with sulfa I end up in hives. I was just talking with my sister and we think that the sulfur in the well water has also affected me. Symptoms that I have had that I feel could be linked: headache, fatigue (extreme sometimes), muscle aches, rashes including yeast infection on my foot, thumb and mouth at times, and blemishes. I did one time live in an area where I had city water... I had energy and a clear complexion and never any of the symptoms above. I live back in rural well area and suffer with these all the time. This was recently discovered and have to had a chance to speak to the doctor. I don't even drink the water. I just use it to cook and shower. I buy bottled water that's been filtered.

When I take a shower I always get rashes on my thighs and chest even when I dont use shampoos or body washes What could cause this?
Well there could be something in your water that comes through your shower head. With myself I am allergic to sulfa (sulfate, sulfite, sulfur..etc.) and a lot of water companies put sulfur based chemicals in their water. So I would go have an allergy test done to see what you are allergic to. The heat of the water can also sometimes cause rashes. Hope that helps, good luck.
