Answer by mcb930
My eldest sister lost her life to IBC. Other than a rash, she had no symptoms initially. After being treated for an allergy reaction and and infection, she began to experience redness, some swelling and a hot feeling in her breast. She didn’t complain of fatigue until a couple of months after the initial rash, and right before they finally diagnosed her.

Another woman I know who was diagnosed early, never had any symptoms except for a red, hot, dimpled area on her breast.

The thing about IBC is that is has such a fast on-set and rapid progress that many times, people don’t have time to realize fatigue or other effect of the illness before they are in treatment.
