Thumbs down %$%$%$%$ing MEDS SUCK

years ago i tried lifting this super heavy Beehive
onto a truck
and it was just to much weight
even for two guys to lift

anyways it flopped over and hit the ground
and out came all the bee's pissed off of course...

we had full bee suits on, except i had my socks
pulled up over my bee suit to prevent any bee's from
getting into my pant legs...
which worked fine except bee's hate
wool so they started stinging my ankles over and over
then the venom is there attracting more and more to
that same spot.

well of course when you get stung 50 times or more
it can be very hazardous to your health....
and your ANKLES swell up bigtime... Right?

now to the point...
this friggan blood pressure medication does the
very same exact thing to me....
so i got it changed yesterday... change the mixture
and !!!!!!
the same thing Just happened to my Brother
and it nearly killed him on Friday because his
tongue swelled up HUGE and cut off all of his air flow
to his lungs,,, so he nearly suffocated on the way
to the hospital .... he barely made it.

he's Ok , but now he has to carry a syringe with medication
just in case he's on an Airplane" in case of Emergency"
because his Job as a Security expert requires him
to travel extensively....

it's very good to hear that your brother is ok.

Sounds like your brother had a severe allergic reaction to something. The syringe your brother has to carry is called an Epi-Pen. It contains epinephrine in case he has another allergic reaction.

Was it a new medication he was taking or something he ate?
