Things over the last month were getting back to a good normal for me. Back to work, husband staying out of hospital, panic attacks subsiding. This things fell totally apart. Really started last week. I was in south NJ for work and my allergies got very bad. I got home late last Thursday and went to the doctor's on Friday. Was given prednisone, singulair, albuteral inhaler and taking zyrtec. Got worse over the weekend, so back to the doctor on Monday. Added an antibiotic for the sinus infection I now have.

By Wednesday morning, had such a bad headache and muscle tremors, I went to the ER. Found out my potassium was low but they did not look into why. They sent me home with vicodin for the headache and was told to eat bananas. What BS. Thursday I felt even worse, so back to my family doctor. Lungs so wheezy you could hear them without a stethoscope. I was having a reaction to the antibiotic and the albuteral was causing low potassium. So off both of those drugs and the doctor only replaced the inhaler. Never before had a doctor end an antibiotic mid-treatment and not replace it. They also did a nebulizer treatment in the office. Muscle tremors caused by low potassium but doc was afraid to have me take supplement since she did not want to have me get too much potassium.

So now I am left with asthma from my allergies but can't use the rescue inhaler right now (causing low potassium), can't take antibiotic for sinus infection and have missed a whole week of work. At least the new inhaler is working and the muscle tremors are starting to go away. All I can do is hope that my body can get over the infection and the zyrtec with the singulair can get the asthma under control. And pray I do not have a panic attack.

Sorry that was so long- I needed to vent.
