Shaun_300 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I was sitting here on the computer at around 9:30 and noticed I started getting really itchy. I normally itch at night and mom gives me my nightly back scratch, but this was different. Never thought much of it, thought it was just dry skin, took my shirt off and went to mom to get my scratch and she shreaks and says "Oh my God! look at your stomach!!" I look down and I am absolutely COVERED in red hives! all over my arms, back, stomach, crotch, going down my legs. Almost gave poor Nikki a heart attack when I told her. We went down to the ER and the doc said it was a medication allergic reaction. Took me off that med and said to take Reactine or Benadryl to keep the itching and hives down. Hopefully they'll be gone in a couple days. Had me a little worried there, but thankfully it's nothing serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 It could have been very, very serious Shaun. Thank God your Mom was there. ..WHEW !! Did the doctor change your meds, or do you have to wait now to see your regular doctor?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbeck Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Wife had that 4 months ago, they put her on steroids to get rid of the hives, She said she could work like a fool got more done around the house in one day than most weeks. You'll feel better in about 3 days. Hang in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotashRLS Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 It could have been very, very serious Shaun. Thank God your Mom was there. ..WHEW !! Did the doctor change your meds, or do you have to wait now to see your regular doctor?? Remember this word Shaun..........Anaphylaxis. It is very serious as Steve said. You need to figure out what med caused it so you can list it with your medical history. Allergic reactions tend to get worse with each additional exposure. Be aware. Glad you are okay!

layin on the smackdown Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Man that had to scare the crap out of you all...glad it was a just a minor reaction bud, and glad to hear your ok. Why don't doctors know that their patients are allergic to the meds they give them? that should be a pretty high priority on their list...This is the second case of this from people on RT forums in less than two months....first buckee, now shaun...Whats up with that?

Shaun_300 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Thanks everyone, thankfully it was just a small reaction. The ER doctor wasn't my family doctor, gotta make an appointment to see if she wants to give me a different med instead of that one. Still on two others that help a lot for my medical condition. This was just a tweaking med. Didn't work obviously! Still broke out in hives, itching isn't really bad though thankfully. I looked like hound last night scratching everywhere.

wtnhunt Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Glad you are ok Shaun. Gotta agree with Potash that you need to be sure to list whichever med you had the reaction to in your medical records. Hope they get your adjustments all straightened out for you.
