Good deal fudge! Benadryl is great for itching and a good excuse to take a nap

Over the years I've developed a "rash" of sorts along with welps and sore joints and swelling. I've been tested for everything and nothing shows up. I've seen a Dermatologist,ENT,rheumatologist,immunologist and been thru the allergy clinic. They put me on prednisolone, med pack, all kinds of allergy pills. I was on the prednisolone so long I had the moon shaped face! I finally stopped all meds and started taking 4 benadryl everynight and shazaam no more symptoms. The doctor's couldn't find ANYTHING wrong, so I figured the worst that could happen was I'd sleep good I haven't had this anomaly happen again since.............my dr calls it the GOK disease. (God Only Knows)

My daughter had a rash from being a strep throat carrier she only had it one time, but her ankels swelled up and they veins were bright red. I freaked out, she was only 10, the doctor knew exactly what it was.

Glad you figured it out! I was going to post about "are you on antbiotics?" - My granddaughter went to the pediatrician today- her mom called my son and said she had a rash - all over - started on the tummy - was even on her scalp - she called the Pharmacist who she said told her that's not an amoxcyllin (sp) reaction - and I said - bet it is! My daughter broke out in a rash when she was 3 after taking her last dose of amoxcyllin - and it is a pennicillin allergy (unfortunately the list has grown much larger as to what she's allergic too antibiotic wise - same with my mom) - anyway - she was told to give her Benedryl and call in the morning and report in - she did, she did have to take her in and my son called me and said it's the antibiotics! So now her chart will be marked - have to remind my son to tell the pharmacy to mark her file too.

Steroid cream but the benadryl cream works better, go figure. Yeah I got a clean dog and clean sheets out of the deal...wasn't worth it though.
