Silly Medicine

So the last few days were not the best days. Well I hate saying bad days because they were not BAD. BAD would be if someone I loved was hurt real bad or something else terrible happened, and luckily none of that happened so I should be thankful I know! And I am! I just hate feeling sick! My throat was swollen earlier this week so I went to the school clinic, they prescribed me to a medicine and I took it. That night I started feeling bad but I took it again the next day and turned out I was allergic to the medicine! I broke out in hives and could not stand up without getting ready to throw up and fall over. It was miserable! My mom was scared I had mono so I had to go to the hospital and they did all kinds of tests and luckily I had no diseases! Just highly allergic to that stupid medicine! So the moral for this blog is… remember which medicines you are allergic too because trust me it is not fun when the medicine only makes your sickness WORSE!!! HAHA but other than that… I had a great day and I hope everyone else did too!

Omg I am allergic to a lot of medicines and this happened to me one time too! I had to go to the hospital and they gave me this medicine and then my head started itching and I felt like fire ants were biting me all over! It was horrible! I am so sorry that this happened to you!

Aww Courtney your story sounds awful!! I have never had an allergic reaction but I have heard they are really bad and no fun!! That is good you went and got tested just in case though! I hope you never take that medicine by accident and have to go through it again!

I wondered why you were not in class and now I know. I am glad you are okay because that could be very dangerous. This also happend to me and that is how I found out I was allergic to sulfa. I was playing basketball and my throat started closing up and I got all red. I do remember that it was not fun at all. I hope you get to feeling better.

WOW! i am sorry to hear about this but it is a good thing that your feel better! luckily, i am not allergic to any medicine or something like a bee sting. It is a good thing that you don't have mono either! i had to get tested for mono one time and it wasn't too much fun! i hate being sick.

hahaha I know I am so glad I am finally over that sickness because I just felt worthless. If I walked more than 10 steps I thought I was going to pass out. And Morgan, cucumbers? haha I am sorry but that is just funny to be allergic to. I hope you did not have to find out the hard way that you were allergic to that!
