Yikes!


After not sleeping at all and having the feeling like 1000's of needles were stabbing me and the rash spreading over ALL my body including my face and in my ears, I ended up at the doctors. So what is it? A severe allergic reaction to the sulfa in my antibiotic. I am miserable beyond expression. I look scary and I'm exhausted, but it will not keep me down. I'm going to Africa in 8 days!!!!.

2 Corinthians 1:4

who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Oh my goodness! I used to get that way when I got too much sun...of all things! Yikes. I know it itches like the dickens. Use some steroidal cream on it like a lotion. It can help with the itching. We like Elecon (sp?). Hope you feel better soon and are able to rest. Hugs!

I'm allergic to sulfa too but I get hives. The dr. had a shot he gave me when it happened and the hives went down in a few hours.
