And things just get more awesome!

The pneumonia is mostly gone, but now I've had an allergic reaction to one of the meds and have a full-body rash.

Yes, it itches.

I strongly suspect it is the Amoxicillin. The only other candidate, the codeine-lace cough syrup, was pretty much out of the picture when this began to show up.

Joy.

That's exactly the symptom I had when I discovered that I'd somehow become allergic to all penicillin-based products (amoxi included).

I have to wear a bracelet because of it, now. I do not envy you this. :(

I was just about to say that. I'm not allergic, but both my mother and husband are. Neither of them were born with the allergy, they both developed it in their late teens.

My condolences, gridlore! It never rains but it pours with you, eh?

Well, at least he already has the MedicAlert subscription; it's just a question of adding it to the medallion. But yeah, large amounts of No Fun.
