Re: husband's drug reaction--Update 10/4

[Guest guest]

Thanks Sharyn for wisdom reading here.

Today hubby back to dr. My chiro said yes hospital and we ended up

calling MD back to give update: itchy, spreading to legs/feet, so he

took a look and see. He's was off Amoxicillin once he originally

went to the dr., but on the meth with predisone drug in addition

benadryl.

He is off the metho predisone drug and now on " predisone " , different

drug, that is supposed to stop infection and yes stronger. They had

two doctors examine him with some conclusion today.

He's to take bendaryl nightly only, can drive and get back to

normal. Told by nurse with similar reaction from that drug to not

scratch even though itchy...so he's listlening to her.

It looks like milk thistle for liver restoration is surely one think

he will fall in love with soon.

Oh, interesting....they tried to find his temperature via mouth and

couldn't this AM. This AM I had him take his probiotics I bought

last night, super strong one for 50 and over folks and 2 garlic

capsules. Wonder if this was the problem for no read?

Thanks and will keep you and the HAWKs posted.

Hugs,
