Xander ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I am officially confused by my body. Tired today. Then after I got home - digestively uncomfortable. Supposed to go out with DH and friend, but I felt nauseous. Shortly after they left for dinner -- asthma attack. digestive problems mostly gone, but freezing. Ate a little pho, warmer, digestive stable.
this make no sense
Add dizziness, and subtract the DH and pho, I am beth. I'm sorry beth. You're a wonderful person. But in this case, I totally don't want to be you.
Beth and libkitty, I hope you both feel better quickly.
Teppy, yikes on that reaction. Hope the benedryl does the trick.
beth, I hope I didn't rain on your...well, the phrase doesn't work well here, but I'm really sorry you're feeling crummy and I'm glad the pho helped.
Teppy, I hope the benedryl helps. It does suck that these things tend to happen in the wee hours.
New thread in the morning. Mmmmm, almost (note I said almost ) better than coffee.
I swear, only to me does this weirdness happen.
Last week, I had several nights with very little sleep, because I was coughing and codeine keeps me wide awake. Still, an allergic reaction to the most common medication for a severe allergic reactions is pretty over the top.
Top 50! 40 even.
It's the small pleasures in life that make it worth it.

Right? But I searched MEDLINE last night, and, while it's not *common* for people to have an allergic reaction to methylprednisolone, it's happened enough for there to have been articles writen on it.
The articles describe some cross-reactivity with other steroids, but not all. So I'm going to call my doctor this morning and tell him what's going on, and find out what he wants me to do (other than stop the methylprednisolone). I could already tell it was helping my wrist pain, so I'd like to keep taking another steroid, if possible.
I've taken this steroid pack before, maybe 4 or 5 times in the past 15 years, and never had this reaction. Weird weird weird.
I don't have a *rash*, per se, or hives, but I'm itchy all over and flushed and my skin feels hot all over. That's not my normal state of being, and then only thing new in my daily routine in the past 2 days has been the steroid, so it seems fairly obvious that that's the culprit. Dang.
I hope the next round of stuff offers you some relief, Teppy.
Teppy's an episode of House!

God, I *so* am. I probably have worms in my brain. (That was the very first episode of House, and I knew then that I could never watch another, because my hypochondria kicked in and I was CONVINCED that I had brain worms, because the patient got them from eating ham [trichinosis, dontcha know], and I eat ham, so therefore I MUST have brain worms! I knew it would only get worse with every successive episode, so I saved myself the trauma early on and forswore it.)
