Guest guest Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Rae, I would check yourself for lyme disease, this is very typical of lyme. I ended up in the hospital with a hr of 145 due to some concentrated oils, lavender, oregano leaf extract etc. I really think it was the underlying condition that created the reaction. People who react to things usually have an underlying condition, many are lyme people. After years of trial and error, they find out it's not the rug, it's not the coffee, it's not the vents, it's not the supplements etc. It's lyme and you react to everything!!!!!!!!!!!!ILADS docs are the best way, they've done some funky things to mainstream testing and it comes up false negatives. Sounds like you've got lots of the symptomsjeanie To: miralax Sent: Fri, March 2, 2012 10:44:13 PMSubject: Re: long term side effects Jeannie the doctors believe the reaction was to alfalfa. I will not try any remedy without a doctor and pharmacist approval now because it nearly killed me.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 It's the PEG they're reacting to...PEG is not only in all these products, but health and beauty products as well. If kids are taking one of the medicines below at the adult level, then adding more with their shampoos, lotions, etc, they are absolutely overloading. But, no, ER personnel would never, ever admit that. You know, I just don't know who they think they're foolin??????

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I would NEVER trust a doctor to approve ANYTHING I take. A pharmacist...well, maybe. The one and only I trust to advise me to take anything is me. There is so much available to us now through internet, phone calls and book research that taking responsibility for yourself is really the only safe way to go. A doctor rarely has your best interest at heart, in my opinion. Jeannie the doctors believe the reaction was to alfalfa. I will not try any remedy without a doctor and pharmacist approval now because it nearly killed me. They say I could take the EZGest but I am taking it in to my pharmacy as it mentions lactase, I don’t know if that is similar to lactose but I am intolerant.
