New side effects

Althought methylpred is a common medication prescribed for treating allergic reactions, it can also be effective to other treatments.

On a recent feedback by someone who've used methylpred, there has been positive reviews for this medicine. In his view, he mentioned that he used methylpred for spine pain that results in severe muscle spasms. After taking methylpred, there has been some great improvements on the condition.

Some improvements include lessen pain and better movement. However, the side effect is weight loss. Some other side effects include the bad taste and the tongue turns white. One person complains that he can't taste anything since taking methylpred and it doesn't work for his condition. Maybe methylpred is not an effective medicine for flu or cold.

What are you allergic to?

A recent news in the health section of ABC News has revealed that some people are allergic to meat. Researchers have found that people who are allergic to meat are actually allergic to the protein or carbohydrate the meat contains. However, these cases of allergic reaction are very rare among the general population.

Studies show that people who are allergic to meat do not show their symptoms immediately. Rather, the symptoms are delayed and show up three or four hours later. The patients will experience nothing initially. Then, they will feel itching and hives may appear. Some several reactions include difficulty in breathing, diarrhea, and cramping.

Dr. Scott Commins, an allergist at the University of Virginia, suggests that there are certain factors that influence the adoption of this allergy. Research results suggest that people who have blood type B or AB are less likely to develop allergies to meat. Also, people who are biten by ticks or other blood-sucking insects are more likely to be allergic to meat. However, researches are still carrying on to look for explanations for this phenomenon.
