Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Dr Grim I ended up in the ER last pm for a ? allergic reaction/angioedema. I have past history of angioedema from meds and my own hormones, but no attacks in a long time. Have had a recent viral illness with otitis, did not use antibiotics due to sensitivites, save them for critical situations only. Work in a pediatric office so constantly exposed, this is my first illness since my surgery over a year ago. I am post left adrenalectomy(10/06) which seems to have been successful. Only problem has been a slight elevated serum Calcium for which I have been worked up and nothing found. ER did CBC and CMP, I was told all normal and given Prednisone 50 mg PO in ER and a script for 50 mg for 4 more days. I was told they don't taper dose anymore for short term therapy. I am so darn drug sensitive and have little trust in physicians after my battle to finally diagnose Conn's. I have had prednisone twice in the past 20 years, the first time didn't pull out of it very well but I didn't know my triggers back then. Second time no problems. I need another opinion....I also need to find someone familiar with immunology, I have seen many allergists and they have been of little help, although these occurances are infrequent.
