Default Thanks for all comments....

Hi,

On my follow-up office visit the next week following my severe allergic reaction taking me to the ER, he just said that it was over, basically a post-traumatic talk being I was afraid of all meds.

After the last 5 years of being in limboland, I have never had these skin issues of rash, reddened areas etc. that is why I've been wondering MS or lupus?

Anyway, I will never take "sulfa drugs again" that is for sure. I know how close I came with this allergic reaction and I know the next time it would probably be worse. The doctors and nurses knew, of course, right away.

My PMD just basically treats all my symptoms I guess until the day that I might possibly be diagnosed.

Thanks for all the input from everyone....

subsequent ingestion can make the allergic reaction more severe, even life threatening.
