((((((((((lonegael)))))))))) Thanks for your support!

The thing is, the only medications I can take are antihistamines, corticosteroids, Tylenol, and aspirin!!! I'm allergic to everything else and have been for decades, all of which is well documented in my medical records - how could I possibly be addicted to anything??? The doctors here have taken numerous blood and other specimens during the past 9 years and nothing has ever shown up on the labs - you would think that this would give them a clue that my family members have been giving them false information!! Besides, how could I possibly afford to buy illegal drugs on my disability income? I've been saving up for months just so I can pick up my Epipen and inhaler!!

My immune-system problems started after I had infectious mononucleosis when I was 19 y/o - shared a soft-drink with a co-worker. After that, I started having allergic reactions to everything - pain meds, antibiotics, anesthetics, sutures, bandage adhesives, dyes, inks, blahblahblah - you name it - and these reactions have escalated in frequency and intensity over the decades. All these doctors here had to do was get my medical records from up north!!
