careful when takeing herbs, and question on caterax

[Guest guest]

just be careful when takeing herbs, if you have allergies, they can

do more harm than good. I'm not sure exactly why I have a bad

reaction to a lot of drugs, maybe because of MCS. but I tried several

herbs that were supposed to be for detoxing and got very ill, I was

told it was because of allergies, I than tried just 1 or 2 of them,

still not good. I have read that corn is used as a filler in a lot of

pills. and I am allergic to corn. I have quit trying anything and

just pratice advoidence. I have become perinoid about going to

doctors and hospitals, afraid of what they might do to me.what can

happen when your suffering from MCS and your put out for sergery?

germs and smells in hospitals, and closed in waiting rooms full of

sick, purfume wearing people are not where I want to be. I have been

dignosed with caterax in one of my eyes, double vision in the other,

I know my vision problems were the result of mold exposure,I often

had little red dots on my eye lids and swelling(vasculitis) but I

dont know if the dignoses is correct on the caterax. if it really is

caterax, I would like to have it removed, but Im scared. It was

dignosed by a regular doctor and they give you a mild senative for

anixity. I told them I'd need a strong one to let someone mess with

my eyes. and because I have a alnmost oppisite reaction to drugs, I

just have not been able to go threw with

it.
