Update = allergic reaction = question re patent medicine

[Guest guest]

Hi, all. For those who were concerned: I'm okay, no more lip and

mouth swelling today, althoug the hives have been creeping,

creeping... I'm living on antihistimines. It must just be one more

little pothole in the road to perdition.

So, I saw the doctor and gave up about five vials of blood for all

sorts of tests. One of them is for gluten intolerance. The doc is

touting this expensive glop called UltraInflamX, which is supposed to

help all sorts of inflammatory stuff. Anyone who knows me knows I

find it hard to believe that anything like this would be worth $32.00

a can, which might last a mere two weeks. 2/3 of the ingredients

look like what would be in a good multivitamin. The other 1/3 amino

acids.

Okay, you alternative medicine fans: what do you think? Does anyone

have experience with this stuff?

We still can't figure out what is causing the allergic reaction.

Thanks to all who helped with ideas. I haven't had any chocolate,

ibuprofen, or newly washed sheets for two days.
