Warning -- "Welless" Brand of Liquid Vitamin D
Apr 17, 2011
I found out the hard way that the Welless brand of liquid Vitamin D is crap! After taking it for only 4 days, I broke out in massive hives ALL over my body, and I mean ALL OVER! The itching was uncontrollable!!! I also had tightness in my chest, nausea / cramping in the lower abdomen, cold sweats, and I almost fainted in my doctor's office. I even had to go to the ER because the tightness in my chest wasn't going away!!! Both my doctor and the ER said I was having an allergic reaction to the liquid vitamin D and I was to discontinue taking that particular brand of vitamin.It's been 6 days since I threw the crap out, and I'm still battling with hives and itching. The hives are now centered on my waist, hands / palms / wrists, tops of my feet and my ankles. And, to add insult to injury, I've gained 8 pounds because they put me on a week's worth of Prednisone!!! How depressing!
I did some research on the 'Net and found that others who tried this brand of liquid Vitamin D had the same reactions to the stuff. That made me feel a little better, because I had initially thought the symptoms were a result of me going back to work too early causing stress on my body. But now I know ... it wasn't all in my head ... it WAS an allergic reaction.
Don't touch the stuff!!! WELLESS -- stay away from it!
