Re: Herceptin/Benadryl

I have a terrible reaction to Benadryl. Tachycardia, High BP, literally looney toones reaction.

I also take Lecithin or DMAE to counteract any anticholinergic reactions from similar medications. I have two half brothers who are unrelated and both are allergic to Benadryl.

I have been able to tolerate Claritin for allergic reactions.

I have family from Garrison NE, are we related?
