on saturday afternoon i got stung on my arm,i am highly allergic and it results in the area swelling up 3x its normal size.
my arm was in agoney,tried antisceptic cream and various other things.
i knew you could get an over the counter med that helps with all allergys including stings,had it before but can not remember the name.........................
...............so,later that evening i took one of my sons hayfever tablets as its an antihistamine same as allergy tablets.
within an hour the pain and swelling had gone down..........great!
oh boy,the next morning i was all over the place and looked as drunk as a scunk lol.
my balance was caput!
had a lay down in the afternoon and by tea time my walking and balance was better.
i suppose it was a small price to pay otherwise my arm would still be swollen and in pain.
y'all take good care
