The ****ngles, thank goodness, have gone by the wayside...since I was
raised in an area 2 miles from a foundry and 8 miles from River Rouge,
MI, metal poisoning would not surprise me...

Took diphenhydramine and Tramadol and mostly zonked myself out...I
should also mention I have a high pain threshold..have ahd 2 bone
grafts, one from an accident and another from a cancerous legion
(chondrosarcoma) so once you've had bone surgery, pain becomes a
relative thing...
Do you still have it?
I still have th scars on my abdomen...I had huge intense itching and it
baded the whole right side of my trunk and down into my groin...

I did use a green tea moisturizer and got relief from it...

Doctor told me I could also use capseisin..that it aggravates the
****ngles...I was loathe to do that though becasue I wear contacts and
that stuff is hard to get off your hands, even scrubbing ruthlessly
(past experience speaking...not pleeasant...)

I've had two in the past..they were contradictory..I am lactose
intolerant for sure and do have allergies for walnuts and pecans
(anaphylactic reactions) I am also allergic to both penicillin and
sulpha...one test said I was allergic to peaches, strawberries and
tomatoes, but they never give me any grief...allergist said I was
probably having an intolerant reaction because my immune system was
already overstimulated and sometimes you'll get false results...the
second test did not show these things..
.. Did you get a full viral panel?
I don't know...I went into this whole thing uninformed on what I should
be asking...

They gave me Valtrex for the ****ngles. I take diphenhydramine for
allergic reactions and Zyrtec daily...I am also now taking Asacol (sp)
I cannot take oral steroids, ehich was one suggestion...I do the steroid
freaky thing on them and get very paranoid...

I don't take Singular, so should be fine...

The pharmacist at our local pharmacy has been very helpful and even
supplied a list that Walgreen's has for OTC gluten free drugs...said if
something comes up they could always formulate themspeves...
