Reply #17: A personal testimony. One time I injured my back and started taking

[morningglory]

Ibuprofen several times a day. After years (yipes--but we didn't have the internets then)I started getting peeling skin, like dandruff in my eyebrows, and pink, flakey skin at the corners of my mouth. I just went into my bathroom, being of the Windex school of medicine, I decided I would put everything in the bathroom on it, one day at a time, then if I couldn't find a cure, I would proceed to the kitchen and start applying mustard, mayonnaise, jam, peanut butter, and whatever I could think of till cured. I did not intend to live like that. In the bathroom that day, first I spied Caladryl. It was skin-colored and would not look too unsightly at work in the cubicle, well anyway it beat the hell out of peanut butter or mustard. The condition was cleared up in an hour. Completely. Astonished, I called my sister, who is further along in the Windex school than me, and she said. Caladryl has benedryl in it. You have an allergy. Benedryl is good for allergies. So then I started trying to think what I was allergic to, and voila! Hadda be the ibuprofen.
