So she said to avoid the class of drugs completely because of I reacted to the cleanest and least likely to cause a reaction, others would be problematic.

I remember reading that it's good practice to bring what you consumed immediately before a bad reaction. And wouldn't you know they both had yeast.

I will head down to the pharmacy now that I am on the mend. It's been really rough these weeks. Thank you for teaching out and remembering me!

Yikes NASW! That is really scary.

Hello everyone! Long time no chat.

I've been pretty lucky for several years, probably because I have been at home for the majority of my time.

Two weeks ago I had a terrible reaction to a medicine. My tongue swelled, I got red and nauseated, and my chest and heart felt funny. Then, under instructions from the prescriber, I took a smaller dose and immediately my throat tightened. I had been having allergic reactions the whole time I took it but they were hours later and I couldn't make the connection.

Then tonight I was sitting when I suddenly didn't feel right. I felt like someone was closing my airway and I squeaked when I breathed in as my hands and feet got tingly. I ended up using my epi and heading to the hospital where they said follow up with my allergist.

Just sucks to be reminded about them.
