I had a medical alert bracelet but just never got around to putting all the information on it....took up more room than was available...

Interesting, one of the things that I have a bad reaction to is Benedryl. My orthopedic surgeon prescribed it to me after my knee reconstruction.....after they had opened up the cast (way before arthroscopic surgeries were done for that), & put betidine on the skin before cosing back up the cast.....that burnt my skin in the hot summer weather.....when they changed the cast a few weeks later, my skin was all burnt, but he had to put another cast on, so gave me the benedryl for any itching since I couldn't scratch inside the cast with the incision there. I took the pill before going to bed & woke up a little later gasping for air......seems it was starting to close off my breathing. I looked it up many years later when the internet became a reliable source of information & sure enough......that was one of the rare side effects. That was many years before I started having more & more negative reactions to meds. Almost every AD had a negative reaction of some sort. From just stiff joints to actual parkinson's like symptoms....let alone the more common types of reactions.....then anything that caused migraines was the start of migraines when I had never even had a headache before in my life.

Only medication I'm on now is pain med for the constant migraine & lucky found the one I can tolerate for many years now (since 2003). That is the only reason I haven't pursued going to an immunologist. Just another Dr on my list of "need to see"......left all Drs behind when I moved across the country except for being lucky enough to find a wonderful pain specialist to carry on with the prescription I was getting before I moved.

The body is a frustrating thing the way it reacts to things that most people don't react to......grrrrrr.
