I caught a cold 2 weeks ago, it developed into a chest infection and 3 days ago I was put on a course of antibiotics (Amoxicillin). Today I have welts and hives the size of 50p pieces and the doc tells me I am allergic to penicillin. 41 yrs old next week and I am now allergic to penicillin?? wtf???? I thought you were born with these things. You learn something every day.</p> I am falling apart. FACT.</p>
Apparently allergies can develop at any time in life. Ar lass used to love fish but then developed an allergic reaction to it when she was pregnant and now can't eat it.
weird tho innit? What happened to change me from a penicillin tolerant to a penicillin allergic person? Life, sheesh ....
think yourself lucky it's only hives, my fella blacked out and was on his way off the planet - always been allergic but Doc forgot to ask him before he gave him the tablets!
shortly after I got married and cme out from under my mothers wing I discovered I was allergic to cooking, housework and DIY. Been looking for a cure ever since.
