Worried

I have a strange rash all over my mid section. I think I may be allergic to my IUD!! I have been dealing with this on and off for years, and now it comes every day. First I start feeling weird, then the rash. I also swell up huge around the middle. Like up 4 sizes. I am going to the Dr. on Thursday. I am already panicking.

Because of how much I was poked when I was in the hospital, I freak out now. Remember, I was on hospital bed rest for MONTHS with the twins, and had a horrible botched I.V. needle change. I simply cannot handle having blood drawn. Last time they tried, I truly lost it.

Weird? Anyone else had this happen?

I use to take some medication that was okay if I recieved the brand version but if they refilled it with generic it would make me break out in hives. Anyways, my doctor prescribed Zyrtec for the hives and it worked really well. My girlie doctor also told me that he will sometimes recommend Zrytec for hives. You might give it a try since it is OTC if you are still breaking out with the rash.

Hope you are able to get it all worked out and feel better soon!

Ouch. I would be worried too. I am not a fan of getting blood drawn either but it sounds like you need to do it to find out what's wrong.
