[Guest guest]

Hi there the same thing happened to me but it turned out to be a lyme

reaction and not an analaphatic (sp??) reaction.......I had to take tagament

and benedryall while doing it ........I had been on it for months when it

happened to me.......and the dr was right.........with H2 blockers ect I was

able to keep going.......we did have to swap to clafran at one point before

going back to rocephrine.......good luck.......keep your chin up ........I

know how you are feeling.......I felt the same way but it will work

out......by the way check with your llmd........my home health company was

terrified....but my lyme dr was right.......((((((I ended up all

red......itchy throat, itchy all over ect.......)))

Hi,

I saw you were allergic to penicillin. Ask if you can take IV Claforan.

I'm not sure of its chemistry.... I am on Claforan. Email me if you

like.

Good luck,

Marie

I did a month of ciafitrioxine.(jeesh I can't remember how to spell it now)

by IV. Not sure if it worked, I definately feel much better than I did,

considering I thought I was on deaths door, literally.
