Question 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

Yikes. That's crazy.

I'm allergic to mean people.

Is that all shellfish. I have heard of that as well as allergies to almonds. How did you find out you were allergic?

Sorry to hear this, Rhonda, but glad you are okay...

My mom said that I had a bad penicillin reaction as a kid...that's about it.

Thank-you Barb. I am glad my sister had presence of mind to call 911 - I guess I could have died. It is so difficult to think straight when you are smack dab in the middle of a reaction...guess this could apply to many situations.

Blessings, Rhoni

Re: Ever had an allergic Reaction?
I am allergic to penicillin. There are some other antibiotics that I have had minor allergic reactions to. The one I am on right now makes me very dizzy, but I am taking my last one tomorrow. Glad you got help and got your dental work done. Thank the Lord you're ok.

Re: Ever had an allergic Reaction?
I am allergic to Penicillin, & other things, but the worst thing that I know of that I am allergic to is fresh Peaches.

I can have them canned, preserved, in a pie, but not fresh.

I break out in welts horribly!


Sounds like you may need to invest in an eppie pen!
