pixidustpet -> allergic reaction (8/12/2009 12:08:44 PM)

and APPARENTLY i just found out that yes, indeed, you CAN have an allergic reation to the "newer, safer!" types of insulin on the market.  *eyeroll*

or as i told my doctor "how come i have to be special?"

two days in the hospital, 3 different 'scrips for allergy medications, and two different endocrinologists saying "i've NEVER seen anyone have that sort of reaction!" later....and i'm ok.

i got very lucky, i only had a rash on my face and itchiness.  i could have had full on anaphlaxis, and i didnt.  i just had itching bad enough i wanted to claw my face off my skull.  (thank the gods for acrylic nails, cause they didnt do the damage i *could* have done if i just had my natural nails)

better now.  but dang.

I'm glad you're came through it okay.

I. too, have odd allergic reactions to things. It can make life "exciting."

I know exactly how you feel. I am allergic to so many meds, I keep a card in my billfold in case of emergency. Benedryel is my best friend...
