I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics I was given on Monday! I woke up Tuesday morning with the most horrendous headache and a rash from top to toe. I know I am allergic to erithromycin and can now add penicillin to that list too. I havent had antibiotics many times in my life so I think thats why this is only becoming apparent now...it never ends does it!!
So its now Thursday and I still have a headache and I went to my GP this morning who didnt seem too worried but neither did she give me new antibiotics?? She said my chest sounded fine but I dont know. I dont feel great today but that might just be a combination of this headache, treatment yesterday and maybe the fact I didnt get the news I wanted about my reconstruction.
I will leave that for another day though as I am bored of it all now.
