Palomar Hospital Emergency Room

I had a new adventure this morning at 4 a.m. in the emergency room...I have been having quite the allergic reaction to cat scan contrast stuff since Friday....This morning my face was so swollen and puffy, my eyes were so squinty...my body was just shaking...I was nauseous and dizzy if I got up...all day yesterday and this morning.....I itched sooooooooooooooo BAD and my kidneys were not doing anything...so we visited the ER and got the allergic reaction cocktail...and a prescription of it all for this week. I am feeling MUCH better now...the body full of hives may take a few weeks to clear they say...I love useful drugs !!! Benedril, oatmeal baths, loratadine and allegra didn't touch it....I couldn't cope any longer. Some days are like that....I am SOOOO thankful I went in..and didn't have to wait but 5 minutes !!! I hid away...now the face is clearing fine...
