Hospitalist Steve Parker wonders out loud whether psychiatric illness is associated with multiple drug allergies.
Entirely separate from the fibromyalgia issue, I've long thought that having numerous drug allergies or sensitivities is a marker for psychiatric disease. The more allergies, the more severe the psychiatric disease.
I would also like to add, along those same lines, it's not only the number of allergies that raise the spectrum of underlying clinically significant psychiatric illness, it's the type of allergies.
I'm going on record as saying if you have an allergy (in the true sense of the word) to prednisone, your physician is silently crying in pain.
