So it turns out, I don't have the flu or meningitis or strep rash or anything. All this 101 fever and swollen lymph nodes and achiness are just a result of my rash. Apparently, I'm having such a bad allergic reaction to something that it has caused my body to reject me. I have no idea what has caused it. The doctor and I ran through all the things that might have caused it and we couldn't figure anything out. He prescribed some creams to apply, and if it doesn't start clearing up by Thursday afternoon, I'm supposed to call him. They even did a blood test and found out that there is no viral or bacterial infections in my system what so ever. He said normally the first thing he would do would be give a steroid shot, but I just had one last month, so it's still going strong. I said, "So basically if I didn't have the steroid shot, I might be dead right now?" I was joking around, but he said with a serious face, "Well, yes, possibly." So, wow, am I allergic to something mighty fierce! Shame we don't know what it is so I can avoid it!
I blame Kiera for this. I'm just saying. She started it after all.

Wow. Well, I hope they figure out what it is and get you feeling better!
Let me know if they ever figure it out. Mine is going on 18 months and counting. I've even been to the allergy specialist now, but he wants me to stop taking my asthma medicine (wtf?) and start taking some really strong anti-histamine which is excreted in breastmilk. When I question this he says; "so stop nursing, what's the problem?" (maybe not in those words, but that attitude is definitely coming across). So...sorry you're allergic to something. :)
what a jerk! I would stab that guy. I kinda wondered if your attitude would be, oh, you've had a rash for a week? Boo-fucking-hoo. :)
well lets hope you dont have that weird allergic reaction to an antibiotic where you become allergic to your own skin and body tries to reject it...umm...i should probably shutup now.
