So, when I got diagnosed with a respiratory infection and told that my asthma had come back, I was given 4 new medicines to help me out. Yesterday, I officially finished the antibiotic and I didn't need the inhalers anymore. Sounds like I'm out of the woods and finished with my medical dramas, right? Wrong...
This morning, I woke with Hives all over me. I couldn't figure out why I was having an allergic reaction. I hadn't changed my detergent or bath soap, and I haven't been around animals the last two weeks. I called my doctor. Long story short, turns out I was allergic to the antibiotic I've been taking. Why? Because it has penicillin in it. That's right...all of a sudden, I'm allergic to penicillin now.
Don't I just have all the luck?!
