I have been sick for a couple of weeks now. I started feeling fluish with swollen lymph nodes, and then it turned into an infection. So they put me on an antibiotic (Bactrim). The infection cleared up but I continued to feel sicker and sicker. So they ran a complete blood panel on me, and everything came back fine except for signs of me having inflammation, which wasn't surprising considering my huge lymph nodes. Well, yesterday I hit the wall. I felt absolutely awful and couldn't get off the couch. And then by noon, I was COVERED in red spots from my knees to my neck. Needless to say, it turns out I'm allergic to Bactrim. I stopped taking it yesterday and today is the first day I've started feeling a little bit better. Hopefully as the antibiotic clears out of my system I will continue to get better and better. Anyway, I wanted to share the pictures of my rash in case this ever happens to anyone else out there. I absolutely freaked out and was happy to find out it was just an allergic reaction. Hopefully it goes away quickly!
