Guest guest Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hello Everyone I have some bad news! Jeffs allergic reaction is possibly his epilepsy medications combined with the penicillon he took on the weekend and the locum has advised him to go straight to the GP tomorrow and then he will quite probably be admitted to hospital with a neurologist for god knows how long to take him off his meds and to be placed on new ones!!! If he stops his meds he has seizures and quite frankly I do not think its that safe to be doing it at home or without a neurologists involvement this was also the opinion of the locum. Now I have absolutely NO idea where he'll be placed when he'll go but we will have to wait to find out! IF his symptoms worsen particularly with the breathing (fine at present) then we have been advised to call an ambulance straight away and I have the magic ambulance button so i do not even have to phone them! theres a door key in key box as well! I feel very smug because I asked a simple question Could his other meds (which of course none of 3 drs asked him what he was on!!!!) be making it worse or making it happen or be stopping the antihistamine to work!!! And guess what the combined epilepsy pills and the pencillon do exactly what I say cause a sydrome where you get a rash just like his!!! Which is why he needs to change seizure meds! So please pray for us that he will be OK and that I will be able to obtain emergency respite if needs be esp if he goes to hospital. seems to be one thing after another I am so sick of it! Thats it for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
