By the time I left work yesterday,

my hives had spread all over & were itching BAD, my eyes were swollen and my throat was closing. They sent me home half hour early & I went to urgent care. Dr put me on prednisone & this morning my eyes are still swollen but the hives are gone, swelling in my hands & feet is gone & my throat is all the way open already!!
I'm amazed just two tablets worked that fast! He gave me a week's worth.
Thank you all for your concern! 🫂🫂🫂

Frightening. It only takes 20 t0 60 seconds for a red blood cell to make a round trip of our body. So whatever bad news it also carries along for the ride can have a near instant affect. Thank God for prednisone.

@Heartlander Right?! I got scared when my throat started closing.
@Tumbleweed

I went through that years ago. And like with you, prednisone was the miracle drug that made it go away.

As ABE LINCOLN said,in jest,If it weren't for the honor of the thing ,I would just as soon skip it..have you stopped your other med you thought was causing it
Tumbleweed · F
@bookerdana Yes, I stopped that immediately
bookerdana · M

Tumbleweed · F
@bookerdana Yes!! I'm completely healed!! But he gave me a week's worth of prednisone so I'll finish that but I feel wonderful!!

Sorry you are going through this, but glad the tide has turned.
But, have you figured out the cause ?
Tumbleweed · F
@Teslin An allergic reaction to Wellbutrin!
Teslin · M
@Tumbleweed Good, I guess. LOL
At least you know the cause.
Tumbleweed · F
@Teslin Exactly!!

Tumbleweed · F
@forestG Scared me to death!! I've never had a reaction like that! The bottoms of my feet, the oalms if my hands, my whole face, everything was swollen. I could barely walk!

I bet your glad that's over.

Did you find out what caused it?
Tumbleweed · F
@H1raeth Sooo glad it's over! Yesterday was my first day at a new job so I couldn't call out already so I pushed through it.
I'm allergic to the new med I was on, Wellbutrin.
H1raeth · 36-40, M
@Tumbleweed Oh, bad timing much? 😂
Tumbleweed · F
@H1raeth Right?!? Leave it up to me!!
