Re: No tiger balm for me GRRRRRR//allergic reactions

February 22, 2008

,

Like you, I have to be very careful about products, etc. as over my

lifetime, I have developed anaphalyctic reactions to SIX different

medications! I am always careful to make sure what I am given and if

it is a new caregiver (like when I was in the hospital for 9 days), I

make sure they are NOT giving me anything life-threatening. I also

always try to have a family member close by to watch for any sign of

reaction " just in case " as it was my mom during my gallbladder

surgery prep who realized that I had red streaks, etc. running up my

arms. She gave me life then saved my life.

I saw your next post. I am sorry you feel you need to leave too.

Folks deal with the stress in their lives in many different ways. I

also have a very strong faith, and am relying on some homeopathic

methods, but need the medical doctors too, unfortunately. DH and I

have talked about the water aquatics class and I have to call on

that, but my concern is a public pool will have too much chlorine

which will exacerbate my asthma, which is still not totally under

control. Anyhow, at some point, we may be putting in a small pool at

our house for me to be able to do laps (lightly of course) and water

resistance exercises because there is a new salt system that is far

better for your skin, etc. etc. that my family uses now when

installing pools.

Take care of yourself. Know that this group is here if you want to

come back.

balm. After work tonight I come home and do the test spot like the

box says to make sure no allergic reaction. Well Guess what!!!!!!! I

know have a rash where I put it on. I AM SO FED UP WITH NOT BEING

ABLE TO TAKE OR USE ANYTHING WITHOUT HAVING SOME STUPID

REACTION!!!!!!!
