Kinda Sick...
 
Okay...I woke up this morning feeling pretty rotten...headache, mainly, tummy ache/upset...no fever, more like cold sweats...so...I've been feeling bad all day...finally had a bowl of cereal around 11:30, and it stayed down, but no interest in any other food at the moment, and pretty much choked that down!

I've been suffering from allergies for the last two weeks or so, and taking Benadryl and Chlor-trimeton on a fairly regular basis...and I'm just wondering...can you get sick or have "withdrawal" when you stop taking antihistamines? Has anyone else ever experienced something like that? Just curious...

Or maybe its just the flu. *shrug* (But...I didn't take any medicine last night or this morning, so that's why I thought that maybe....)

Allergies can give me those symptoms, MissB...........and sinus drainage can make me very nauseated. Maybe you're not ready to stop taking the meds.

Hope you get to feeling better!

I know in this area there has been a nasty bug going around that starts with headache/upset stomach/symptoms like a cold/flu. Many have gone for the sinus cocktail shot and a round of antibiotics only for it to have zero effect and go for a second round of a stronger antibiotic.

My son even ended up (after the two rounds of antibiotics) having a migraine for days, which he has NEVER had before. He took two different mirgraine meds before knocking it.

Many others had these same symptoms.

We had several people out of church this weekend with the same symptoms...I don't think it's the allergy meds...it would appear there is a stomach thing with headache going around tulsa right now...BTW, most of the reports I got it lasted less than 24 hours...mostly about 12....

Hope you're feeling better!

I just had both of my kids at the Carenow clinic here last night for the exact same symptoms. Its a nasty bug here too and they said they saw over 103 people with it just there yesterday

Hope you get feeling better soon

Same here about 24 hrs. My kids both went to school today feeling a lot better, my daughter totally lost her voice from it but I could at times count that as a blessing too LOL

It was more like three weeks around here.

That aint fun at all.... Now one of my kids friends has had it for about 2 weeks but I thought that was possibly from passing it back and forth... Its nasty... I thank God I just got a little touch of it and I think it went on its nasty ole way from there.

I'm not feeling so great either. Sore throat -- my voice is all raspy -- got some sniffles -- and I feel wiped! Went to bed at 9:30 last nite.

Whatever it is I've got or getting I want to shake it before we leave next Mon.

MissBrattified 09-18-2007 02:26 PM

Well...maybe you guys are right...I think this is a bit too much to be just from antihistamines (or the lack thereof).
