Last week I had an allergy atack where my mouth, tounge, and throat swelled up.
I went to the Dr after about 7 hours. They were very concerned and said I should have gone to the ER.
After they were conveniced tha tI could breathe they have me a steriod shot and a steriod pack. The swelling went down.
At first the steroids made me feel better then by the end of the week I was very agitated and nervuos. I was glad when they were up on Sunday.
TodayIt started out with hives. Then my mouth started to swell. This time I went to the ER.
They gave me an IV with a steroid in it and another blister pack of MethyIPRESDNISolone.
Then they told me to stay at home and take benadryl all day, which I did. She also gave me an epipen and said the alergic reaction might be worse the next time.
I contacted one of my Dr.s and he said to stop taking my thyroid medication. Tha is the only thing I could come up with that was the same in both attacks.
I’m going back to work tomorrow. I need to work on my performance review which is due Monday.
I have an appointment on the 11th with an allergy Dr. I need to call them and update them on the situation. When we made the appointment I was only having sinus problems.
I think the steroids will keep it from happening for the rest of the week, but I still worry about the week between then and the Dr appointment.
