Thanks for the kind words and great tips!
Hippies, I have a question for you all: I seem to be having a reaction to something used during, or shortly after, surgery.
I had this same thing happen about 15 years ago when I had a short procedure. Nobody could figure out why it happened or what caused it. Thanks to the lovely hospital I was at my records were lost, so there's no way to compare commonalities.
The way this reaction presents is that I start out with slightly itchy underarms, which then leads to a uniform red rash over my trunk, back, buttocks, and inner thighs. While that is developing, the palms of my hands and soles of my feet get red and painful...no itching there, just almost looks like a chemical burn.
Last time, my palms and soles blistered and then peeled.
I am now experiencing all of that except for the final stage blistering and peeling.
I told my doc about this prior to surgery and he was stumped, as was the anesthesiologist.
I alerted the staff to it yesterday evening, a doc was called in to examine me...again, stumped him. He ordered Benadryl (IV) but it hasn't done much good. A little less itching on rash areas but hands and feet still painful, tingly, and red.
If anybody has had something similar or has any knowledge, please let me know.
Thank you!
