Cancer?

Is that what your doctor said that an allergic reaction could mean cancer?

did you get hives or what?

He said that 4 patients of his who had hives were diagnosed with cancer. That's in the past 16 years. Probably not a big deal but I wish he wouldn't have told me.

Said that about 80% of these cases are cured by prednisone and generic claritin and the cause of the outbreak is never found.

That is exactly what I got, allegra and prednisone.

he should have never mentioned that cancer to you

they also said that stress and anixety can cause something like that.

Try finding a xanax, you'll be fine

prednisone is the devil. I have to take it every day of my life. When I had a big UC attack last year, they had me on 100 mg, then 80, 60, 40 for a few weeks and tapered down to the 7.5 I take daily. When I was on the 100 and 80 I gained 10 pounds in two days without having one bite of food. So not fair... gained a lot more weight from it in the following two weeks. Sucks, but I guess I'd rather be fat than dead.
