what is this
Hi Vicki
You asked about red patches on the upper lip and eyelid. Those sound like my
allergies too, although mine respond to hydrocortisone. I’d prefer to use a
natural alternative if anyone has a suggestion.
I turned down the SEVEN different pills (mostly steroids) the doctor recommended
to me, and asked instead if there isn’t some way to be more immune to allergies.
Only then was I told well of course, the better your overall health and fitness,
the stronger your immune system, and you will resist allergies better, just like
you resist disease better. By following the O eating and exercise
recommendations, my allergies have become a very minor inconvenience, rather
than the ordeal they once were.
Do you know what you are allergic to? I took the allergen tests. I like to camp
under the stars, without a tent, under some nice trees. Well, guess what I’m
mostly allergic to: grasses and trees! So, I camp in a tent now. I’m not
about to stop doing what I love to do, but I can make some accomodation, and it
helps a lot.
One last thought. You said you’d seen an MD. Was that person a dermatologist?
Have you considered asking for a referral to one?
Good luck!
