Geez! Lets add another thing to my daughter's list of allergies!

My poor girl! She's 15 years old and she has had allergies for a long time. She is allergic to almost EVERYTHING! Mold, mildew, ragweed, various weeds, trees, shell fish, pollen, cats, dogs, cockroaches and the list goes on. But last Saturday she broke out in a rash from head to toe. So now I am thinking she is allergic to the sulfa in Bactrim. She started on this for a UTI and a few days later, she broke out in the bad rash. She was so itchy! I am taking her in to the ENT in November to have her allergy tested for sulfa. She had to take a day of Benedryl and stop the antibiotic. Luckily her rash went away but it took two days. She is already doing allergy injections and was doing very well on them and now this!

Sounds like an allergy to me.
I did that with amoxacillin, but throw in also facial edema.
It took a full month to get it out of my system because it was time release.
I'm just like you daughter- allergic to everything in my area but the beech tree. :(

I felt *really* sick the whole time with mine, and even after stopping the med, it was two weeks before I could walk across the street or stand for a while without feeling totally tired out. I don't ever want to feel that bad again.
