ok, gang, you won't believe this.
remember my eye problem -- extreme itching blurriness, pain, red broken veins in the corner, etc.
went to doc and he put me on eye steroids for 4 days, then optivar twice a day.
i looked up amoxycillin, which i had just started the day BEFORE all this broke loose.
allergic reactions to amoxycillin include extreme itching, redness, swelling of face, and, get this, on rare occasions blindness.
so call doctor and he says, yep, very very possible it was amoxy. so i had stopped all meds and the itching, redness, and swelling has gone away.
so it was an allergic reaction to the amoxycillin. i thought it was a herx but it was not. the red mass in the corner is gone too.
i think i had better stay away from meds all together and start doing all herbs. i had started once before but was leery of herbs and doc put me on amoxy.
just a warning to check and make sure you are not having an allergic reaction instead of other things.
if i had not started researching amoxy on my own, i would not have found this to ask the doc.
so anybody taking amoxy beware........
