Not to make fun of your plight with the pills, Gina, but the people who are saying that our bodies cells keep being changed constantly, in your case should substitute the word "pills" for "cells"! There must be a traffic jam in your intestines when all the pills try to or their way through, I took Seldane for my hives years ago, and I had reactions form the Seldane much worse than the original hives, My whole body swelled up like a balloon!
