    I was diagnosed with an allergic reaction to gold sodium thiosulfate with a patch test. i have swollen eye lids and contact dermatitis on my lips (they constantly peel and chap). I also take Humira for Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was told on my little information sheet from the doctor that GST can be found in certain Rheumatoid medications which I cant stop taking. Is it possible the GST is found in this drug? Thank you for your help! I am suffering with my lip situation and swollen eyelids.

      I’m so glad I came across your comment. I have been suffering with lip swelling, pain, and peeling for a year now. I did a skin test a couple months ago & found out I was allergic to gold. With my rings & earrings off, I’m 80% better. It’s been a couple months. Does it typically take longer??
