I can't give you medical advice, but if it were me, and anything got worse, I would go to ER. so what if they roll their eyes at you - how are you to know, and if you're taking meds (like lamictal) with a possibly very serious reaction, better safe than sorry. I got a very severe cat bite last year on a Sunday evening (of course) so I RODE THE BUS because nobody was around to take me, to the hospital. I did not have insureance, and as it turned out, a good thing I went, then. Because of some srew-ups, it still took me a few days to start antibiotics. If I hadn't gone it right away, an infection could have easily started. It was very deep wounds, and cat bites are dirty. (no enzymes like a dog has intheir saliva)

You can still develop an allergy or severe reaction to a medication, even if you've been taking it for a while....however, it still does not sound to me like either one..... (although as I said, I cannot give you advice )
If the bumps are not getting worse, and you are not getting any other symtoms, like difficulty breathing, fever, rapid heart rate, you will probably be OK until your appt. Do you have a medical information advice line you could call? Some hospitals and medical corporations offer an advice nurse at their own 1-800#.

One of the medic guys that came here to take me to the ER today, was telling the other ambulance people when they came, "She keeps talking about some weird special thing..........Stevens.....Stev.........", and here the ambulance chicks said, "Stevens Johnson's", so at least SOMEBODY knew about it. But, you shoulda heard his tone, he was practically making out like I was just some fucking crazy out for the thrill of being on a stretcher. WTF?

I so wish we could just get a little bit of dignity when it comes to this stuff. It's not fair to have to deal with being criticized while you're sick.

Yeah, sounds like he's a keeper, meme, seriously. You sound like you definitely need at least one person like that in your life---one that doesn't try to tell you what your experiences are.

I hope you come to believe in yourself more, and listen to all the others less. It would be so freeing for you. Really. I've had to do similar things. I used to believe that it was my job to convince my parents of my truth, but this is not so. They can believe whatever they want, but I'm not going to hash it out with them, either.
