long story short:
took some antibiotics or a combo of things trying to get rid of a cough that I\'d had for 2 months...started out as a small rash on my hands that I thought was poison ivy. within a matter of days, it was on 80% of my body and wed morning I woke up not being able to breathe, and the poison ivy-like rash had puffed up like hot marsmallows. I spent all wednesday in the ER, then was admitted...pretty scary. My heart rate wouldn\'t drop below 130 bpm, and they pumped 3 litres of fluid into my veins in 5 hours. The rash felt like theworst case of poison ivy ever, complete with oozing painful blisters, with a 2nd degree burn on top of it. I\'m doing better now, the hives were so intense that my skin is bruised all over, and I look like I have one of those "raspberry" birthmarks over my torso & legs...strange thing is, I feel like I can\'t control my hands. I can barely type. maybe nerve damage? seeing the docs on monday. I feared I wouldn\'t see my daughter again.

Dang man, good to hear you\'re much better now. So what was the illness... an allergic reaction?
I\'ve had a cough for about a month now that just does NOT want to go away :/
-
wow...
thats scary.
best wishes buddy. get better.
-
maybe some pics of the aftermath later...
thanks guys.
-
Jesus chizz thats scary man. Glad to hear your alright.

Did it get rid of the cough?
You should get a chest x-ray. Then get checked for lymphoma.
-
I\'m glad you didn\'t kick any buckets!
And hopefully your wiener wasn\'t/isn\'t affected...
-
That sounds like a more severe version of what happened to me when I found out I was allergic to penicillin.
I hope you have a swift recovery.

Get on some weed to take the pain away and settle your nerves. Glad you\'re recovering, music man.

Damn, that sucks. Glad you made it though... Keep us updated!

had all that done weeks ago.. x-ray normal, bloodwork normal. They said a nasty virus has been going round that mimics pneumonia...I was afaid of lymphoma for sure...
cough is pretty much gone, now...I feel really weak, tho...sorta like a bad hangover without the headache. I wish I still had a bong...I could go for that right now.

Glad to hear you\'re doin\' ok, i don\'t know who would\'ve replaced you as our resident "racist bastard" other than giga....j/k..:thumb:...Are you allergic to penicillin like Core stated?...my son found out the hard way when the doctors gave him penicillin as a baby and he had a really bad reaction to it....when i have a cold,... meaning (sore throat, stuffy nose, aches etc)....i don\'t like to load up on medicines...the majority of the time i\'ll just take some thera-flu and within a half hour i\'m fine....
Be easy with the meds Chizz,..that cute daughter of yours is depending on you to keep those teenage boys in check when she hits the teenage years.....;)

Jeez, I\'m glad you\'re OK buddy.
Last year I cought something pretty bad, didn\'t really think much of it, but I was pretty bad, the morning after I woke up and noticed I was pretty wet... for a second I actually thought I had wet the bed, then I noticed I was pretty much wet all over... so I stood up.... and my hair was soaking like I had just come out of the tub, my bed was soaking... and I mean... like somebody had thrown it into the ocean.... and I just stared at it for about 20 seconds, then I looked down and I was standing in a puddle of water/sweat. I was scared as hell, actually thought I was melting away.

Damn Chizz. That is really scary. I\'m really glad you are still here.
