Adding on to health stuff, if you take ORAL Voltaren (Diclofenac) regularly (hello!) -

A version was made and approved by the FDA called "Arthrotec" - with a stomach-protecting layer of 200mg of misoprostol per tablet.

Consider asking to switch. IYKYK.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.

She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.

But the FDA recently denied its approval.

Now, her health hangs in the balance.

Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Why SHOULDN'T you ingest pennyroyal, or advise anyone to do so?

Pennyroyal is toxic. It can cause liver & kidney damage and/or failure. If taken at a high enough dose, pennyroyal can cause death.

I see:
"rash; hives; itching; nausea; vomiting; hoarseness; difficulty breathing or swallowing; or swelling of the eyes, face, lips, mouth, tongue or throat"
listed as side effects. What you are describing fits swelling of the toungue, IMO. (I'm not a doctor.)
