Summary
A person reported urticaria that eased while taking 20 mg of Pepcid daily, and swollen lymph nodes that shrank after drinking baking soda water. By February 2024, about two months into a treatment, some lymph nodes had shrunk but were still there and head pressure had gone away; follow-up blood work was planned. The posts do not say how limited they were day to day.
