Hi jet

is allergy to something. Er on call quick sharp. Let us know hon!!

Take care gentle hugs love sheena xxxxxxxx :-) :-) :-)

Jet- Dont screw around!! Stop the new meds you have started for a second and call the doc before taking any more!! If you are having trouble breathing go to the ER!! If its a true allergic reaction let them sort it out before you lose your airway due to swelling. Can you take Benadryl and Pepcid? If so, do it!! And call me later to tell me you are okay!

Just tried to call him and he is in the ER now getting assessed.

Hi Jet

Have you stopped the Plaquenil? Such a shame if that is the culprit. Sending you positive thoughts of support with all you're going thru at the moment
