Re: husband's drug reaction--now to Benadryl

[Guest guest]

Another update:

Now hubby is allergic to Benadryl now when in fact it could have

been a culprit along.

He was doing well today on new drug, Predisone alone, but tonight

before bed he took Benadryl and the redness was in full blown swing

again. Now he is adding Benadryl to the list of allergic culprits.

He is very itchy still.

Stay tuned. He was acting great this afternoon, and hoping tomorrow

is a work day. I am giving him probiotics and tomorrow he'll get

his senior over 50 dose...think it is by Renew sold at health food

store.
