    Allergy?

    Hello,
    Anyone else have developed allergic symptoms along with IC - rashes, unusually large amounts of drug allergies (if I get any more - I'll need a second MedicAlert bracelet!!!), etc?

    Anyone go through allergy testing as part of treating/looking for a source of bladder irritation?

    Just saw urologist whose first recommendation was an allergist, second recommendation was DMSO cocktail...

    I have developed some medication allergies and I also have a Medic Alert bracelet. My specific allergies are listed on the bracelet, but if you have lots of allergies, you can simply have the fact that you have medication allergies listed on the bracelet --- then if the need arises, medical people can telephone the Medic Alert Foundation and learn what your specific ones are.

    Hugs,

    Stay safe
