I had a bad allergic reaction to diclofenac in the summer. Itching, flushing, red eyes, hoarseness, wheezing, feeling faint. I took a piriton immediately and my mother phoned an ambulance. I was given oxygen (I was blue lipped apparently) by the paramedics and taken to hospital. However I was recovering quite quickly by then so after some basic health checks was sent home.
My GP just said to avoid diclofenac in the future, nothing else. What I wondered was, did I have anaphylaxis or just an allergic reaction? When is an allergic reaction classed as anaphylaxis?

Do you think this is a 100% cure for some/most/all cancers out there?
Have anybody tried this product? If so, then did it really work?

Can it cure heart cancer? please...I have to know because I have a friend who's wanting to do surgery, but I just don't want to take the risk of losing her

how can i explain this? drinking is not a disease. Putting a bottle down your throat is not a disease! When will people understand this? Drinking is not a disease!

What's "too much"? How much is too much? Drinking alcohol is not a disease! Doing drugs is not a disease! It's a choice. So it is a bad choice. Choices aren't diseases. Does anybody know what a disease is? its internal not external like alcohol

Hmm. Before, I used to urinate 2 times a day. For the past week, I now urinate 4-5 times (almost every 4 horus) a day even though I still drink almost the same amout of fluids. Is this normal?

Given normal days and conditions, I don't feel fatigue though. I also don't wake up during the night just to pee. I can sleep well. It's the urinating thing that got me worried though. =(

About three months ago, I had my blood sugar tested and thankfully, the result was quite normal. My dad has diabetes but it's an ACQUIRED diabetes (after I was born).

What do you think guys? Thanks. :)

A girl friend of mine went out drinking tonight and she is currently passed out. She's pretty out of it, but her breathing is fine and she hasn't thrown up any that I'm aware of. She is just kinda difficult to get up. Since her breathing is fine (much more than 10 breaths/minute) and she isn't cold or blue do you think she can just sleep it off?
