I just started Bicillin shots - ouch! I get huge lumps at the injection site and a painful hot red rash that gets larger over the following days and then fades. I also develop a fever of 101 at night after are days.
Is this a herx or am I allergic to the med? I was dxd with ALS 5 years ago and take IVIG twice a month as well. I am allergic to rocephin but did a picc line with it for 9 months.
I have trouble breathing so when it gets worse I try a new med. Last night my breathing was much better. The shots hurt but they seem to be helping.

Sounds like a herx, my first bicillin shot I had 103 fever, vomiting and full body toxic rash 24 hours later, followed by relief. The more shots I did the less intense the reaction. Bicillin is amazing. Massage the lumps as tolerated and use a heating pad But if you get other symptoms suggestive of allergy, let your doctor know
