As you know, I had a spider bite infection last week and was very anxious over that. I have been going to the doctors every day so she can treat it and it is getting so much better. The doctor gave me an antibiotic and after finishing the last dose on Monday, I woke up Tuesday with a major rash. I figured I would wait until today (Wednesday) to do anything with it because I would be seeing the doctor today anyway. She said it is an allergic reaction to the antibiotic and that sometimes it doesn't kick in until after a few days. She gave me two shots. One is to help with the itching, the other is to stop the reaction before it gets worse. I have to take more meds to get this to go away now.
My anxiety is off the charts right now! I am weak, dizzy, blurry vision, having a hard time breathing and having a hard time concentrating. I told her about being kind of short of breath and after checking a few things, she told me it was most likely the anxiety causing it. But, she also told me after the shots that if the symptoms of the allergic reaction gets worse, to go to the ER.
I can't tell if this is the anxiety or the meds, but I am having a really hard time staying at work right now. I work in my doctor's office so I feel like I should stay in case anything were to happen. But, most of me just wants to go home and climb in bed. What if this gets worse? What if the meds don't work on the allergic reaction? And, what if the things I'm feeling now is a reaction to the new meds she gave me today and not anxiety?!
Any words of encouragement would be so appreciated!!!
