dangermousieGuess who got a severe allergic reaction to the antibiotic I was given for my strep and ended up in the emergency room? This gets better and better!
They pumped me full of counteracting drugs, did a bunch of other things and finally released me. Apparently, after years of having no problems with it, I have developed an allergy to penicillin derivatives - take that, Dr. Jin!!! (actually, if I am lucky, I am allergic only to this particular derivative - I guess I'll find out. In any event, there are plenty of antibiotics not derived from penicillin).
Baby Mousie had strep too but she is not allergic and her medicines are working super well, so she is back to normal, asleep at home with Mr Mousie watching her while I gallivant to such exciting places as the ER ;)
Grrrr, why can't I be allergic to star fruit or biltong or Yerba matte - all things you rarely encounter and of no utility.
