You need skin testing for many things but most of all. Milk and Eggs.
I wish I had all the money back I spent on meds.
Claritin is an allergy med
I was told recently to take it, but I said no
20 years ago, I reacted, Called the company, Talk to Mayo Pharmacist as well as Hy-Vee.
Everything on the label looked good, but I said it made me sick
Call the company and the base medication is safe, but the process of making it into a pill they Add lactose Or milk.
So please check into it. It also could be Aluminum dies.
I wish you the very best

Hi,
I've been checked for everything imaginable and all I have to show for it is Diabetes T2, CKD, Sky high BP, high cholesterol levels, I have an enlarged heart and Autonomic polyneuropathy. There is a family trait of reacting to medication, inherited from my father, unfortunately I'm the worst. There also seems to be something genetic in us as two have succombed to MS, one has Hushimotos, My Dysautomonia and now the last of my siblings is following down my track, all part of Dysautomonia . We all react strangely to medications, reactions tha are not know for a particular medication.
I'm fortunate that I don't have to pay for medication and generally don't pay for medical services. I just pay for my Dr visits at a reduced rate. I'm currently to the point of evaluating what I will do going forward. Every which way we have turned has failed and because of it I'm labelled as psychologially challenged. I have to strongly disagree with such utterings which stem because frankly I freely say death would be a relief. I'm not depressed or suicidal but I am fed up with the theory because they can't find anything to attribute to my "condition" it's in the mind.
The likely hood is I will continue to be untreated and medication free for the remainder of my life. At least I don't have to remember to take my meds! I know and accept the consequences of doing so but at least I can enjoy a modicum of comfort while I'm still here. Today my BP is 173/101, my new norm, with a heart beat of 60, Glucoes level is 16.2 well into hyperglysemic and only slightly elevated for me, normally in the 13/14 range after fasting over night. The upside is I can walk , of a fashion, talk and cause trouble, what more could I want. Treatment, not at the cost of my comfort thanks. I can't put those around me through the side effects I struggle with while medicated.
Cheers
