Allergy Shots Part II
Today, I received my second shot at the higher dosage, in my right arm. I received my anti-itch spray and waited my 30 minutes. Along about lunch time, my arm was bugging me. It was a little sore, a little itchy and the bump that had formed on the injection site was warm to the touch. All of this is pretty typical for my right arm injection. What wasn't normal was that the diameter of the bump had spread out to over 2 inches. I called the doctor's office and let them know of my concerns.
The nurse consulted with me and asked if I was having any problems breathing, heart racing, etc. I explained that all was well, I just had this really broad bump on my arm and it was continuing to grow, it was itchy and a little sore. I measured it and it was just over two and a half inches!
Ice, this was their recommendation. It wasn't two minutes after I put the ice on it, that the itching stopped. It reduced the diameter to just about two inches, after about a half of an hour and at that point, the soreness also went away. After two followup calls, to confirm that all was well, they let me know that this was a medically minor reaction, on the severe side of minor. I figure, anything that doesn't require emergency medical intervention, is called minor. If this is the worst that I have to deal with in this process, I will consider myself well blessed and go on my merry way!
It is time for bed now. More later.
