Thanks, Dyann and Charlotte, for your replies.
Dyann -
I wasn't taking the Allopurinol prior to surgery, and hae been taking it from 3/12-4/14/06 (a little over a month). When I am done checking posts (my morning ritual that i cannot seem to break), I will call my doctor.
Charlotte - I don't react as severely as that...just enough itching to drive me batty
