HELP!
As some of you know...I am allergic to almost everything! I have problems with medications and I was recently given cymbalta and Zanaflex. I just couldn't take the pain anymore! It was to get me by until my surgery. Problem...the medicine works but...I started getting an itchy rash...kinda weird cause it's only on my neck on the left side only. It's red and itches! I thought it was from something I've been eating. I decided to not take any Zanaflex yesterday and then took one last night. I woke up with my left side burning and itching in the middle of the night. My neck is all red. Also, my scalp is peeling! It's gross! I scratched my head and it looked like it was snowing. Is this a side effect from the meds? I am in so much pain today and I really need the meds cause they help. I can't win! Momz

ACK! After I posted my message I discovered this rash all over me! I am itching like crazy and I also started having an asthma attack! I was coughing the last few days but since I was also having trouble swallowing which happens often...I thought it was related. I called the Doc...I have to stop the Zanaflex! She said I must be allergic to that as well. PEACHY! I was told to take advil until I see her again on Friday. I took some...it did NOTHING! PAIN PAIN PAIN...all I have is PAIN! I can't stand it. I hope I make it til the 14th. This is awful. I have no idea what I'm going to do for pain meds after the surgery either...since I'm allergic to everything.
Life is wonderful! NOT! I hate this...I hate it so much...it has destroyed my life...sorry had to vent. My husband is mad ...nobody gets it....I can't do ANYTHING! Momz

call and see if you can take benadryl. it should help with the allergic reaction.
calamine lotion or an oatmeal bath is soothing.

maybe that Gold Bond lotion might help the itch/rash too?

emergency room.... you don't want any breathing issues to get worse and maybe they can IV something into you for the pain. praying for you!
