If you were going to get an allergic reaction it would be almost instant so after an hour you are fine.

Ahh tricia,

Nics right. You should be fine now, I worry/fear taking meds also. It's awful. So taking meds to calm me have the opposite effect, so I don't bother.

Just to add - although we are not here to give advice to replace a professional doctor, youd be suprised at some peoples occupations on here.

Takecare

hi tricia - same problem with me but i agree with nicola, if you had an allergic reaction it would have happened by now (tho not a doctor myself)
