My body has had severe allergic responses to so many things all my life.
I couldn't take asprin from as young as I can remember. Then around 17, eye makeup made my whole face swell. Then allergic to penicillian & keflex & another antibiotic this year....pray I don't ever need one in the future. Really bad reaction to steroids (just one pill) last fall. Had a bad reaction to benedryl (go figure). Had a psych drug one time in the hospital & none of my joints would move in the morning. Was allergic to an asthma drug in the hospital too & it caused larangitis so couldn't make a sound. Got into stinging nettle in the field behind my farm & my whole hand & arm swoll up like a balloon. Took weeks for the swelling to go away.
Allergic responsed are tied into our immune system & really MD's don't have a clue about allergic responses from my own personal experience. They just tell me don't ever take it again ...so my list is long & at this point in my life I don't even go to an MD but finding natural treatments for everything because there is no point in taking anything the medical field could offer since my body
rejects it all with side effects & allergic reactions.
I never blame me....but I do blame big pharma for shoving drugs & chemicals on people for things there are safer treatments for. Only things MD's & PDOCS know is to shove drugs at symptoms that never fix the real problem but most times cause the "need" for another drug to counter the side effects of the first drug & that just snowballs into a nightmare.
At 70, I am not taking meds for anything & now when I do get sick I treat myself with natural cures. I don't even waste my time discussing it with MD's because they really don't know anything except pushing drugs as a solution for everything & I am not taking my life in that direction
