Topicort

I threw the Topicort away this afternoon.  As I told the doctor, if there are serious side effects, I will have them.  I did.  The arms have not improved except for the swelling.  It feels like my skin will just split when I move my arms.  My feet and ankles are swollen and I am having trouble breathing. I would go to the ER, but I am afraid they would finish me off.  I will just wait this one out until this gets out of my system and I will never put any of these chemicals in my body again.  I will also make my own lotions.  I did find out that even though this started out as a reaction to the blood pressure meds, the lotions and anti-itch cream really blew it up.  The lotions contain Dimethicone along with a host of other chemicals.  The Dimethicone is to speed absorption into the skin.  And Dr. Jones told me that the anti-histimine cream was never to be used.  That and anti-histimine is ok in the body but not on the body.  So, I will just make my own lotions and creams with no chemicals.  I was so scared tonight that I wrote out instructions for my kids in case I don't make it.  That is how bad I feel.  It is not  fun feeling this way.  This is 9 doctors over the years that have put me on crap like this.  I'm done.
