Do you swell up beyond belief and can't breathe? Or, do you itch from head to toe? Vomit profusely for 12 hours? If not, call it intolerable, not allergic. I agree with ER...if it can save your life, deal with the uncomfortable side effects. People who are allergic to Lortab but not Vicodin know that if they call it Vicodin on the street, they will get more per pill for it than Lortab. Doesn't matter if you explain they are filled with the same generic, beacuse then they want to know which manufacturer of the generic you have in stock!!

If you take offense with my observation then perhaps you should be taking a look at why. In fact, looking at your comment, did you even read what I wrote?<br /><br />I would imagine a normal person would see my post and think, "Wow, more people assume this is a woman than a man with these allergies, that sounds stereotypical." Yet you call me a mysogynist saying I have a hatred for women or girls, however you have no apparent basis of that from my post.<br /><br />I might or I might not have a hatred and disrespect for women, but that is irrelevant to my point.

The problem is with the artificial blue 133 colouring used. I discovered this years ago, before blue M&M's were made, when my kids loved to drink green cordial. Everytime I drank the stuff with them, I'd get an itchy rash. Now, when I buy M&M's the kids get all the green and blue ones.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-36897926683140052872009-09-02T06:13:45.815-04:002009-09-02T06:13:45.815-04:00What the hell?

It had a couple medications listed on there...but nowhere near the number that I actually had to write down. The poor MA at the doc's office had to waste many a sheet of paper to fax it to me. It came out to roughly 7 pages of paper, listing out 39 *different* medications. No two were the same, but some had to be for the same indication. <br /><br />So, start with HEENT and Neuro drugs, and work your way down the body.Rx Internhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151838382707567818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-11632924458856514512009-09-02T02:18:27.985-04:002009-09-02T02:18:27.985-04:00Let me guess, she wanted Demerol?Let me guess, she wanted Demerol?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-34263548777004309282009-09-02T01:30:22.532-04:002009-09-02T01:30:22.532-04:00My poor brother is allergic to everything....perha...My poor brother is allergic to everything....perhaps even other humans.
