What caused it? Well the only thing I had added to my routine that was different was the supplement African Mango. I was taking it to curb my appetite. I read about this supplement in Science News, read Dr. Oz's comments and did lots of research before trying the supplement. I started it on Friday, and I had the reaction on Sunday night. Therefore the PA told me to quit taking it. In fact she said the following:
"I am from Africa and I have no idea what an African mango is."
"People in Africa are skinny because they have no food, no fast food,
and no cars, they walk every where."
and no cars, they walk every where."
I am not sure this is what caused the reaction, but I won't take any chances with finishing the bottle.
Why am I not sure, because I had really worked myself into a full blown anxiety attack due to some stress I was under and was worried about Monday morning.
Today, even with the high dose steroids, and really staying to foods I know I have no issues with, I started breaking out in welts, itching, and my palms turned brilliant red when I came under great stress again. My feet even turned brilliant red and welts came up on the sides of my feet during a meeting tonight.
So no more African Mango.

Thank goodness you figured it out! I was worried you got bit by a spider and he was still lurking under the bed.
