Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
Hi,
As you all know I went to the ER Sunday afternoon thinking I was having an endo flare. Well, I was given an antibiotic for an infection. And am apparently allergic to. I didn't have any reaction. For more than 24 hours after I had taken 3 doses.
I'm lucky to be alive.
I just wanted to let you all know that an allergic reaction to medication s can take days to present itself. That's why I didn't connect the two. Yesterday I woke up with my top lip swollen and my nose and middle of face tingling. I called pharmacy and ER so they called in a new prescription.

Yes, it was a freakie situation.
I'm super allergic to one of the main antibiotics too, it sucks!
I'm glad you are ok!!!
Apparently I have to wait a few more days for the old antibitoic to leave my system and for my the swelling in my lip to go down. :-(. It's better than it was but I still hate it.
@Wildorchid, thank you. I never knew reactions took this long to happen. Ive informed my doctors so I wont ever be given that particular antibiotic again.
