Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / April 2004beware red tylenol :)
Of note: I had an immediate severe rash/itching reaction to the new easy-to-swallow red Tylenol... Grace. It might be the dye in the coating. I haven't seen the new Tylenol yet > Of note: > > I had an immediate severe rash/itching reaction to the new > easy-to-swallow red Tylenol... > > Grace.

I wonder why they do that. <rhetorical> However, I'm currently taking a Vitamin coated with red and no problem. There's different "reds" (according to this). http://www.cosmarabia.org/events/events_n008.html Today I had to drink a fizzy drink that had Red FD&C and yellow FD&C but I can't remember the numbers. Whatever ...it burned my tongue. Yuck ! didn't taste good at all. Hugs J I'm beginning to think my sensitivities/allergies are more pronounced post-stem cell transplant....

Perhaps your body has to get used to *everything* all over again? I can't recommend eating earthworms, though :)  SignatureAndy Taylor [Chair, N E Lupus Group] See http://www.northeastlupus.org.uk for more! > I'm beginning to think my sensitivities/allergies are more pronounced > post-stem cell transplant.... > > G. hmmm...maybe I hope they're not getting rid of the caplets, those are easier to swallow and they weren't red last time I bought some. Hugs J > I'm beginning to think my sensitivities/allergies are more pronounced > post-stem cell transplant.... That's interesting! In my limited understanding of the immune system, from nursing school nearly 20 years ago, I would think the opposite would be true. I was looking at my most recent CBC results and saw that I had 0 eosinophils (usually an indication of allergies). I was thinking it was from Imuran. Do you take any "maintenance meds" for the stem cell transplant, or is that it? I know you said at one time that your lupus was really quiet. Gretchen Well, I guess my immune system is back to babyhood in a way; also, the inside of my mouth, etc., was pretty damaged; the doctor said it should normalize after six months.... I take prophylactic antibiotics/antivirals for six months (1.5 months more). Other than that; I only take synthroid. Grace. |
