Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Patty, eeemmmm its the Niacinimide (vitamin B3), well I may still need to space the pills. And perhaps its just built up in my system. Only a small percentage of the rash has stayed. the itching has gone after one day of not taking the product. But I'm not off the allergy med. yet either. I'm still remaining hopeful. Don't know what else it could be? > > > Rogene, > I spoke to the manufacturer and the fellow I talk to has alwasy > talked to me for nearly an hour.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Thanks Lynda!, I'll go slow once I'm feeling 100%. I'm remaining positive. Had another soak in a hot tub.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 hmmmm, if it is niacinamide, then forget what I said...I hope you have your answer!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Thank you Patty, I will start out with only one per day when I do start back and only take that supplement for a few days or a week and slowly increase. I do hope it works out, Blessings, K. > > > > > > Rogene, > > I spoke to the manufacturer and the fellow I talk to has alwasy > > talked to me for nearly an hour.
