Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Hi Tree, Thanks for the kind words. Well, some bad news. For some reason the hives are back full fledge. I'm still doing the treatments and right now i'm using the cromolyn sodium only and using two ampules, it's helping my breathing but not my hives. I have no clue why, it was doing such a good job a few days ago. I cannot wait to have my appointment with my Allergist. I'm really anxious to try the Gastrocrom orally, which is a lot stronger than my cromolyn sodium. Thanks Jackie, for the pictures of the package and ampules. Your meds are definitely stronger, which is 100 mg per 5 ml. Mine is 20 mg per 2 ml, plus there is purified water added for inhalation. I hope he is willing to pursue further looking into using this, if not, I don't know how i'll get it. Thanks again everyone for your help. Hopefully in another day i'll be able to write back and say it's working agian. take care, talk soon, Ann > >Reply-To: urticaria >To: <urticaria > >Subject: Re: Ann: something interesting! >Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2001 18:32:54 -0500 > >Dear Ann.... > >This is so wonderful!!!!

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Hi Ann, I definately think taking it orally is needed. I believe your dosage is not strong enough. Is your cold better? Are your hives usually worse or better with a cold? I really think you should try the gastrocrom orally. Keep me posted Love, ~Alena's Mom Jackie & -something interesting! > > > > > > > Hi Jackie and , > > > Something interesting happened.
