Allergic Reaction From Hell....
Posted: 03-29-07 14:26pm

It all started when my son got pink eye.He got medication, and it got better.I ended up getting it.Took Clindamycin(sp?). I am allergic to Erythromycin.I ended up having a massive reaction,whole face was swollen, and my vision was minimal.I went back to the doctor, and was then prescribed Tobramycin,and my face swelled more, and I couldn't see anything at all.
It took all of this for the doctors to realize that I am allergic to anything ending in mycin!!!
I was then referred to an eye doctor who gave me an oral antibiotic, and told me to apply a cold compress.Swelling is gone,but I am left with extreme photosensitivity in my eyes.Looking at the computer screen yesterday was like looking directly into the sun.My vision is still very blurry and I can't
go outside yet, because It is too bright Idea (even with sunglasses on.

Anyone else experience this????Does photosensitivity in your eyes last forever??

I can't wait to be able to go outside.
