    1. Oof you’re allergic to that new medication, you should possibly stop taking it and/or contact your doctor as soon as they’re open.

      I had medicine once for strep throat that did this. It’s how I learned I’m allergic to penicillin. If this has penicillin get checked, it could kill you.

      Its an under reported side effect but often only skin related. Yours was pretty severe.

      Was it brand or generic?

      I had a less severe reaction but I question if it had anything to do with a switch in generic brand. I plan to find out because it was otherwise pretty effective and wasn’t nearly your reaction

    4. I get this whenever I’m cold, I was told not to worry about it. Im reading this thread to learn which cancer I have.

    5. Holy fuck, hope you are better now, on the positive side, at least now you know that you have allergy for this medicine, so you won’t suffer the same again!

    6. There’s a couple of spots where it’s pretty normal looking, so it’s not all bad

      Learned I was allergic to sofa based drugs when my whole body looked similar to that. Days of no sleep.

      Oof. This was when I took Bactrim (sulfa). Petechial rash like this, blurred vision, headache, elevated temp, balance issues, auditory weirdness, all within a few minutes. Not fun. Glad you’re okay
