Ugh. Fuuking allergic reaction. Was having issues breathing, couldn't swallow, lips swollen and numb, rash on face, eyes, feet, hands, ears burning. Never had one so bad. Took 50 mg of benedryl at 5 did nothing, took another 25 at 6, kept deteriorating, so I went to the hospital. They gave me decadron after finally getting an IV in me on the 4th try. They blew 2 veins and it still hurts. I warn people I have crappy veins. They're deep and they roll. I feel like I've been beaten up. The only thing I ate today was yogurt, so I guess I can't eat yogurt anymore.

I am sorry. I hope you will much better and very soon. I wonder what caused the allergic reaction? I hope it wasn’t too scary for you.
I hope you manage to get some rest.

Wow!
I am glad you were able to get to the hospital for help!
Will the decadron disturb your sleep tonight?
I hope you can get some quality sleep.

Sometimes antihistamines make me wired and antsy like they're doing tonight. fun times. but we started a new tv series today called person of interest. It reminds me a lot of burn notice. I like it so far. I thought my husband was tired and was gonna go to bed cause i wanted to watch NCIS, but i guess he's not tired anymore. Man i hope i sleep at some point.

I'm sorry that you have to go through this. Yogurt can cause this? It's a good thing I think it tastes terrible...
Feel better soon

I surely understand about not wanting to take prednisone. (I have autoimmune issues and am dependent upon daily prednisone).

I hope the prednisone plays nicely for you.

Prednisone works great for some people. I go all hulk rage on everything and growl at people even. I'll not take it or any steroid again.
Hoping it works!

That really sucks! I mean, i mostly only eat plain greek yogurt too. I would be pretty mad if something so "healthy" now gets me sick.

The alpha gal test came back negative, so I guess I gotta figure out what to do from here. I guess I'll see my GP again.
