The Vent - Part 2

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Rhiann, since I started having my hives, I react to Advil, too. I took some last week when I had my dehydration migraine and I had a giant hive breakout. There must be an ingredient that we're sensitive to.

Perhaps.

It'd never hurt to get blood testing me thinks.

That's a great idea. Sometimes it is something in the filler/binder in the medication that we are allergic to. Have you tried other ibuprofens, I don't know if they vary with respect to non-medicinal ingrdients but it might be worth a shot. I hope you find the answer and please get well soon.

Does anyone else find this username offensive? KittyKunt ?

Yes

Oh boy, what a fun day at work!

I had yet another allergy attack.

All I had today was (In this order) Diet Pepsi, Cheese Bun, Advil, Chicken Fingers and Fries.

AND WOOSH. Hives showed up on face, rash on my upper chest, face and lips started to swell, became insanely itchy and then my throat swelled up a bit.

This has happened the last 4 times I've taken advil.

I don't care if my hives are chronic, I think I'm going to get blood testing for Ibuprofen and Advil allergies.

Have you ruled out any seasoning (ie msg) in the chicken fingers and fries? I hate seasoned fries.

I was thinking about trying other Ibuprofens, but I really don't think I want to risk another one of those attacks.

They're really nasty and the one I had today left me with wanting to scratch my skin off my body.

MSG probably isn't bothering me.

I had bought 2 bottles of Clamato and drank them both within like 4 days (I love the stuff too much) and that stuff has MSG in it.

Also, the allergy attack started BEFORE I ate the chicken, and the cheese bun is made with no preservatives or anything like MSG.

So I have a feeling it's the advil, seeing as one day I had just advil and broke out and had put nothing other than water in my body.

You know what..... I think you're right. You just triggered a memory for me. My Mom had been prescribed Naproxen one time and it's an anti-inflammatory NSAID also. She had such a severe allergic reaction to it that she was DOA when the ambulance finally got her to emergency. They finally brought her back with an epi injected directly into the heart muscle. Thank God.

I'm still waiting on thyroid bloodwork, but if they don't call back by the last Wednesday a month, I'm calling them.

Sadly, he's only in my city on Wednesdays, his actual office is in another city.

Holy wow. Glad she came out okay!

Naproxen, aka Aleve, is an interesting little #######. Claimed to be safer than Tylenol/Advil for every-day usage, but can whack a punch.

Aleve is available in Canada now, other than BC and Newfoundland.

I personally love the stuff, it worked way better and way faster than advil, but it has some pretty nasty things associated with it, like everything does.
