Ever had an allergic Reaction?
Before going to the Dentist this morning I had a frightening thing happen:
Because I have so much metal in my body I have to take two doses of antibiotic an hour before my appointment. I took 2 doses around 6 am this morning and jumped in the bath. I began itching and could see and feel my body swelling up. My lips swelled and my heart started racing. I got out of the bath and looked in the mirror an saw an aweful sight: my whole body had welts on it, my lips were gigantic, and my whole face was red - even what was supposed to be the whites of my eyes.
I called my Mom to come and get me to take me to the hospital. My Mom called my two sisters, and my sister called 911. 6 medics came in and each took vital signs while one was prepping me for a benedryl shot. It scared me to death, but Mom took me on to the Dentist and I slept through getting a tooth prepped for a crown
I had a very exciting day. This is the first time I ever had an allergic reation to a drug...anyone else have a story to tell?
Blessings, Rhoni
