I woke up this morning only to discover that I am covered with hives. And I mean head to toe covered. From my scalp to my feet. I've had hives a few times, but this is by far the worse case I've ever had. Some of them are the size of a silver dollar. I'd post a picture, but seriously, no one needs to see this. I was trying to figure out what caused them when it hit me that I've been on augmentin for a week. Sulfa drugs do the same thing to me after about a week of taking them, so I'm assuming the meds are the culprit. I went to see the doctor and she said to keep taking benedryl and dont take augmentin again. Like I was planning on that! I'm miserably itchy, but on the bright side, at least the allergic reaction isn't the type that shuts off my airways.
Anyone else discover an allergy in a spectacularly uncomfortable manner? Please, make me feel like all the weird stuff doesn't happen only to me.
