[quote=Anonymous]I was going to ask about antibiotics, too -- I ended up with a rash/hives reaction to Omnicef 6 weeks after treatment. The dermatologist immediately knew what had happened. Be really careful if you figure out it was meds, OP, because your next reaction to the same medicine could be life-threatening. My mom had an anaphylactic reaction to antibiotics that she'd taken for years. She ignored a slight rash that had popped up after one round of antibiotics and then a year later, took the same antibiotic and had to be rushed to the hospital as her throat swelled up. Again, these kinds of reactions can appear almost out of the blue and be connected to a medicine that's never troubled you before.... If they come back (hives, that is), be sure you're tested for thyroid antibodies and Hashimotos -- I was stunned when I learned that uritcaria (fancy word I may be misspelling -- aka hives) are one of the most visible indicators of Hashi's.... Good luck![/quote]
