Health - 16 January 2007

A week ago, I experienced an allerigc reaction to acne medication I had been taking for about a month. (Don't ask why my body was so late to react.) After having severe blotching, swelling, throwing up, and other symptoms, my body seems to have calmed down. I have gotten back to normal life. However, the reaction still occurs (and will continue for another week or two, according to my doctor) in the form of an itch. All over my body, I constantly itch. It's so much, I've never felt like this in life before. After itching, the skin becomes VERY red and enflamed, as well as having raised skin where my fingers scratched. I'm currently taking Tylenol, Bennydryl (sp?), and steroid pills that are intended to end the reaction and assist with the itching. Is there anything else I can do? It's SO distracting and is keeping me up at all hours of the night.

I was recently given a prescription by my Dr. I took it for a couple of days, and then had a severe reaction to it. I am also allergic to many other antibiotics. I called the Dr. and he gave me something different to take. What should I do with the pills that I still have???

So... My dentist has suggested I get my four impacted wisdom teeth out and I am toying with the idea of in the chair with novocaine or under anaesthesia. Does anyone have any suggestions through past experience and what the recovery was like?

I am going to make an appointment tomorrow but I am wondering what could make it so sore. It just started coming on today. the left side hurts like the glands in your neck up into the lower part of my cheek. It doesn't feel like it's in my tooth just it is sore like the muscles and glands are sore. I have a real bad migraine now.
I am pretty sure it's not my tooth it is more in my cheek muscles than my tooth and my tooth nor the gums under/around it do not hurt.

Anyone know what it could be?

I went to my doctor today and he said I might have an ovarian cyst. I was just wondering if anyone else has had one and what it felt like and how they were treated. I will be setting up an appointment with an OBGYN soon to get checked out, but I was just curious to see other people's experiences and compare symptoms. Thanks.

I have several teeth that move just a TINY bit if I press on them, will using my floride toothpaste more often correct this? I haven't been using it as much as I should because I never remember to use it.
