I had a lipoma removed from my back and somehow it got infected.

Had it out on a Wed afternoon and by the next Tues AM was in the ER with a BP of 57/46, and still conscious. They didn’t know why I was conscious, but they sure did move.

It hit FAST. If mr. mm had gone to work that morning before I woke up, I likely would have died from it.

With the ketotifen, do you take it as needed or all the time? I was on it but had some side effects that I decided weren’t worth it and went off. It does seem to help better than anything else though.

I also tried something called DAOsin that I got through Swanson supplements. It is diamine oxidase, which binds to free histamine in the body and helps relieve the symptoms of too much histamine. It really does pretty well, but is not cheap.

Right now I’m reacting some from something I ate yesterday and am about to take a prednisone (as suggested by my allergist) to see if it helps like he said it should. Then I’ll be hitting the sack.

Thanks for the link to the website. I’ll see if there’s anything I can use from it.

MM, I am glad you made it through that. MRSA is a scary, scary deal, and one reason I have stopped with procedures and treatments. One, no one knows exactly what is wrong with me anyway, so they just throw treatments at me as a guess, and 2. Sick people and germs hang out at doc offices and hospitals. I'd rather toddle around out here, petting my goats. I also feel like being out here has been better for my health, so there is that, too.

The ketotifen, I only take it when I am reacting super badly to something, otherwise I just stick to regular benadryl on a daily basis. I'll have to look into the DAOsin, don't think I've heard of that. I am SO glad it is working for you!
