I spent yesterday morning in the hospital for a severe allergic reaction to something. If you have ever seen Running Wild with Bear Grylls, I looked pretty much exactly like when he ate the honey. I'm still all puffy today, but at least I can see. Long day of minimal reading and posting on GH.
Ugh. That sucks not knowing. Or do you know and you just don't want us creepers knowing what you are allergic to?
You were so puffy you couldn't see? Itchy? Painful?
Did you get IV benadryl? That **** burrrrrrrrrrrrrrns.
I have no idea what caused it. I thought it was from too much direct sun exposure, but the doc said "don't go looking for zebras when it is probably horses"
He did tell me if it happens again it will be worse so I should try to figure it out.
It was so itchy and so painful. I had one eye totally closed, one i could crack open. I had to ice my face so i could see well enough to drive up the road to the hospital. It is still puffy and uncomfortable, but much more manageable now.
I didn't have to get an IV cause it wasn't in my throat, but I did get prescription antihistamines which he told me were going to make me feel sleepy and high. I feel totally normal, if not a little amped from the steroids, so I'm a bit dissapointed on that front.
