Bad Reaction?
12 years ago
... I had one apparently.
Never in my life have I ever 'got something terrible' like this before.
I've had minor itchy from medication before and ended up discovered to be allergic to penicillin and sulfa drugs. No biggy..
Well this, is something worse. I suppose since they say check back 2 months of what you've taken and I got desperate for antibiotics and took a few amoxicillin for a tooth to take the edge off until I got to the dentist to get a proper prescription. Guess I won't be doing THAT again.
I ended up getting the minor version of erethyma multiforme.. however it's spelled... Body broke out in horribly itchy welts that progressed to little pale rings. Got a fever that lasted over 2 days and made me feel like I'd been beaten black and blue by aluminum baseball bats.. Muscle and soft tissue was hateful. Couldn't stand sitting for long, and couldn't stand laying in bed long either.
SO far.. I'm glad it's over. Still got some blotches on my skin but they're rapidly healing. This took me out for almost a week. Didn't help I was snowed in for 6 days (right when this crap started).... Gods only knows what would've happened if I needed hospital ER right away. I'd probably be dead. 6 feet of snow would've said so, along with zero plows keeping roads clear despite town only being 15 minutes away.
So my last art piece was kinda 'eh'.. but that's what I get for working on it here n there when all messed up.
On the road to mending now.. thank god.

FA+

I had the same reaction to a drug called Toradol.
its a pain shot
was terrible
I just hope I can figure out for sure what triggered such a reaction. It's pretty frightening when you go nearly 30 years without any reactions at all really.. to something like that. X.X
im very cautious with medications
