Friday wasn't so great.
I got up early and headed to the pharmacy to fill my scripts. Taking so many meds makes me worried, as far as like the whole pill cocktail thing goes. The pharmacist was super nice, and she assured me that everything was perfectly safe to take. Thus I started on my antibiotic right away.
I'm on Bactrim for about a week. I have to take two pills a day, roughly 12 hours apart. Many people are allergic to sulfa drugs, and because I have no known drug allergies---I guess about anytime is a good time to find out! I made sure I packed yogurt with me, and I mixed in some probiotic powder. Sure to keep away that nasty infections us ladies get. As if having to bear children and have your period wasn't enough, oh great big universe out there just decided to add yeast infections on the list! LOL.
I ate and was okay for a while, until about 6pm. My face started to get super red and on fire. I'm lactose intolerant and allergic to fresh tomatoes--if I eat either of them my face will turn BRIGHT red, mostly my cheeks. If you gave me a glass of milk and forced me to drink it, that would be like my equivalent of water boarding. Most times it results in me projectile vomiting across the room and then super sick like I have food poisoning for the rest of the day. YUCK. I wasn't too upset about my antibiotic made sunburn, I knew it would go away.
It just kind of sucked the life out of me. I started getting super drowsy...like to the point where I didn't even want to drive home. Don't worry, it was so cold outside that I snapped out of it enough to get home. Shortly after I took the rest of my medicine and passed out for good!
