ITCHY-ITCHY-ITCHY!!!!

Well it has been a rough week and a half for me...last week I woke up Sunday morning with strep throat. Yeah no fun...especially when you have a darling little boy that you just love to hug and kiss and cuddle with. My doctor prescribed me some amoxicillin to help get rid of the strep. WELL! Last night, after having taken the amoxicillin for the last week I woke up at about 4 am itching my hands. They felt like they were on fire or like they had been eaten by fleas, and I just couldn't stop scratching my hands. Then my feet started to itch, then my face, then my back, arms, stomach....Well I was covered in hives and my face started to swell, my arms and hands started to swell. It was no fun! It freaked me out and I started to hyperventilate and I was totally freaking out! Steve, being the AMAZING husband that he is went to Walmart and like 5 am and bought me some benadryl and some claritin for the hives. So it turns out that I am now allergic to penicillin! I took my body 26 years to freaking figure that out!
Luckily by the time I woke up this morning the hives were gone and I am totally fine. But last night was a little scary! Thank goodness for WebMD
