Hi all, thanks for all the good wishes. I am back home now but not sure what is up. They are saying it is an allergic reaction to penicillian, but they really did not give a definite answer. Basically my body is attacking my hands, joints, swelling, etc. Having a very tough time with the medicine.

My hope is it is just a reaction to the pencillian, but you start reading stuff on the internet and it worries you! Going to my regular doctor tommorow, so hopefully start on getting somesort of firm diagnosis of what this is all about.

May not be on much as Killian is watching me like a hawk. Talk to you all later!

Mac, Good to see they let you out. Just ly back and let them help you. We will hold the fort here for as long as you need.

Good to have you back, my friend

Good to see that you are at home. Rest, rest, rest. Try not to read too much info from the internet, sometimes it is TMI (too much information) and it can cause unnecessary worry. Just wait for your doctor to give you the info you need and then look it up. I once had an allergic reaction to something. I had extreme facial swelling and swelling of my hands. It took 2 weeks for the swelling to go down. I went to the allergist and he could not figure out what I reacted to. We were so sure it was latex, because the test showed I was allergic to all the proteins in latex. He called me a medical mystery and advised me to keep a epi-pen on me at all times. So I guess what I'm saying is that sometimes the doctors don't know what went wrong and can only guess and treat the symptoms. But if they think it was in anyway the penicillin you can bet they will advise you not to take any antibiotic that comes from the cillin family. Get well soon.

I'm so glad you're home again!! I know Killian and the kids are happy too, and probably hovering constantly - let them! Please take it easy, rest, and try to be patient with your recovery. Listen to the doc! You're not to worry about anything here.

Paul, very glad to see you at home. My dad was allergic to pencillian; what you describe is very possible. Can seem like a devil of a time to get straightened out, but it will. Hang in there and follow the doc's orders (and Killian's ). We will continue to send good thoughts and prayers your way and for your family as well.

[garfieldpurrs]

Sorry to hear, hope all goes well and "Best Wishes" for a full and speedy recovery..

Hi Paul. Glad you are home and praying the Lord's wisdom on the doctor's for the right diagnosis. We here at Highlander are one h=big family and I know many of us are praying for you and wishing you the best. Take care, my friend, and have Killian keep us posted.

Lord bless and have a great day!

Glad to hear you're home again, thanks for letting us know ... and I hope they get to the bottom of it soon *hugs*

[Sekhmet]

This is what I get for not paying attention for days on end...be well Paul! Who else am I going to nag on here?!

[jedibowers]

Glad to see you home and glad it is nothing too serious. Hope your family doc will have more information. Maybe get a test to see what you are allergic to. Get lots of rest.
