Another weird medical question for y'all! This one is benadryl (diphenhydramine) related. Well, these ones, plural A. Have you ever gotten so upset and/or emotional you spiked a fever? B. Have you ever taken benadryl for a fever, emotion-caused or not and C. Did the benadryl completely fix your fever? Before anyone points it out, yes I know none of that should I work that way. I did not take the benadryl for the fever, I took the benadryl for the oncoming allergic reaction that was starting, and then once it kicked in I no longer had a fever. I am aware all of that is weird, which is why I am asking these questions lol

#the person behind the yarn #tj asks weird questions #medical mention #medication mention #children's chewable benadryl cures all my issues (except low blood pressure and muscle spasms)#and it shouldn't! this is not medical advice #half the stuff benadryl fixes for me should not work that way!#both in that allergic reactions shouldn't cause those symptoms and in that benadryl shouldn't fix it #but the fever is new I'll admit #it raised my temp by like a degree and a half from my baseline #but also sometimes if I get too upset my blood pressure drops like a rock and I swoon like something from a victorian novel #so of those two ways my autonomic system could completely fail to handle emotional stress #I might prefer the fever????
