Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 After my last shot I had a hives/rash reaction but it was hours after the shot so we weren't 100 % sure that was the cause. So I was told I needed to wait 2 hours yada yada. Well 1 hour and 38 minutes into my wait this morning, I started with hives and itching, also my throat became very scratchy/itchy. Followed by the shortness of breath, tightness in my chest, and wheezing. I was given 3 shots of antihistamine 10 minutes apart, shot of sodium medrol, plus Prednisone by mouth and a benadryl by mouth. Two breathing treatments and what was supposed to be a 2 hour wait ended up being 6.5 hours (Got there at 9 and didnt get out of there til 15 til 3). Now I'm just absolutely exhausted, but soo shakey and wired from all the meds pumped into me. Now I feel like everything is a lost cause, I'm out of options to control my allergies and asthma because the allergist has said absolutely no to trying Xolair anymore. For the first time in over a year and a half my spirometry tests and all were over 75% (they were 78 and 79 and one actually hit 80). I don't know whats going to happen now.
