Re: Going to try Imuran plus Doxepin

Bad news I had a horrible allergic reaction to something a week ago. My lips got swollen and they were burning, felt like they were on fire especially my lower lip. I had huge crusts built up over 2 weeks and the swelling caused it to peel off in a horrible way it was quite painful. Got blood done and everything fine but I stopped the medication. It's been a week off and I feel fine, the swelling and pain went away a day or two after the initial reaction.

I think it was something I ate since I ate some new things for the first time in a while. I am a very picky and strict eater so I eat the same things for long periods of time so it must have been the food. However, I'm scared to go back on the medication because like I said earlier I am pretty much my own doctor here and this is potentially dangerous. So back to the drawing board I think I'll get another allergy test I haven't had one in years. Really disappointed since I was reaching the 1.5 month mark where I was hopeful I would start seeing progress. I am going back to my home country soon and I'll be bringing a stockpile of Imuran and doxepin in case I try again soon. Tweet
