Ugh, if you don't have to, don't take Lovenox...lol I had to take it twice a day for a week. The bruises I had because of that **** are still on my abdomen, and this was 4 months ago!

I know all about allergies. My endo decided that my sulfa allergy didn't matter and prescribed lisinopril with hydoclorothyazide. Guess what? The pharmacist wouldn't give it to me! Good thing...since I have a sulfa reaction that most don't...anaphylaxis. My endo didn't think that it was a bad enough allergy and gave me the script. Nice...
