It would appear I am allergic to Benadryl

I am allergic to it to. Makes my heart race

[kass_rants]

I'm glad it doesn't do that to me! Scary!

Kinda ironic that it does to me what it's supposed to stop though. :/

[priestesm]

Yep, I get the heart racing, and then when that's done I get hives... but then again, Dramamine makes me nauseous, so we know I'm weird.

Try the children's liquid benadryl, it should be dye free.

Since I don't know for certain it's the dye I'm allergic to, I'd rather just not take anything like Benadryl, thanks.

RAIN, damn you! RAIN!!!
If I could, I'd send you some of ours. Could we get some heat in exchange?

Glad to hear you found out what it was you were allergic to. I hope you can find an easy and cheap substitute.

[kass_rants]

I didn't find out what I was allergic to. The original cause of the rash is still unknown. It's just that as I was getting better, I took Benadryl, and I started to itch all over, not just where I have the rash.

But the rash is drying out now, it isn't spreading, and if I stay off the anti-itch stuff, I don't itch at all. So I'm going to try doing nothing and see how that works. =)

I would love some rain, but not flooding (I live on the Delaware River). But you don't want this heat. Trust me.

Unfortunately, they can't get reactin in the States.

[kass_rants]

Thanks, ladies, but I'm done with taking any drugs for this. I'm just going to ride it out.

Aw bugger. I guess that means you can't to calamine lotion either because it's pink?

[cristiana5]

Benadryl cream has no dyes.

[kass_rants]

I don't know if I'm really allergic to the dye or not. It was just a guess. But you see, without taking Benadryl, I don't itch. So I don't need to use calamine lotion. =)

[brickhousewench]

Oh well then, if you don't itch, then carry on!
