Misery

I recently had a sinus infection for which the doctor prescribed an antibiotic. I faithfully took it for the full 10-day course and took the last one Saturday morning. Sunday morning I woke up with a bit of a rash developing. Pretty itchy. This morning it is so much worse and spread all over the whole of me. I went to the doctor. He diagnoses it as an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. Curious that it didn't show up until AFTER I was done with the medicine, but there you go. Anyway, I am now on Atarax (makes me v e r y sleepy) and a steroid cream. Hopefully it goes away pretty quickly. It is making me really grumpy and makes me think seriously about jumping into my 55 degree swimming pool. Grrrrrrumpy. Gives me a whole new empathy for people who suffer chronic skin disorders. What misery. I must remember to pray for those so afflicted.
