Well i made it to three out of four parties. The medicine made me feel great. But a short lived happiness. I am not giving up, hope the doctors do not give up on me. Anyway did go with a friend to a wonderful x-mas eve family get together. Lovely home friendly people had a great time. Went to a party one of my friends sisters was having. Oh my i ate to much. Went to another family x-mas today. Anyway i had gotten home from the secound outing and had a very good itchy rash and swollen itchy blurry eyes. But i count my blessings as i had been in untollerable pain for the two weeks prior to x-mas and i was feeling better even having the allergic reaction than i was before starting the Arava. So i am in a pickle at the moment but not as miserable for the time being. Being as it was me i expected this. I was of course wishing for a better outcome. But it was nice to get out and be awake. It was still a great holiday.
Hugs, Milly, hugs!
I don't know the protocol, but can you take some Benadryl on Avara? Or are you supposed to report it ASAP to your doc?
Hugs,
Pip
| Also consider that it could have been something you ate at one of the parties -- sometimes it could just be a spice. I got head to toe hives due to eating at mediterrainian restaurant -- and getting into a spice my body couldn't handle. |
