This picture was just added as interest. This post will not be interesting to anyone but me. I am noting it for a referral to my brain fog and struggles Below is medical.

My sinus infection was getting worse again. It is never, ever gone, but it quells and ebbs. It was worse. I had been on one antibiotic for a month, but it obviously was no longer working. Dr had told me when I finished that antibiotic, to go onto another one, once a day, for prophylactic reasons. Always have to be on an antibiotic. So every time I have to change antibiotics, I rotate through the only 3 I can take. The next one was the one he wanted me on prophylactic, so instead of calling him, I just went on it and instead of one a day, I took it like I do when I have an infection - 3 times a day. And I didn't confer with him. I just did it. As a PI patient, you kind of know what to do next. I was going in to him in 3 days, so I would let him know. I did, in fact I told him and said to go ahead and fuss me, but that is what I did. He said, no, I did exactly right, and after one month of it, go down to one a day.
That was on infusion day. He does a check up each infusion day. During the infusion he asked how I was doing other than the infection and I told him I had something weird going on. I am itching in my throat, my ears, my sinuses, and kinda even going into my chest. Did I cough? Well, yes, but this is the weirdest thing - I cough a few times then sneeze repeatedly from my toes. Deep deep sneezes - it is crazy. There was some discussion that it indicated an allergy of some kind, but the only thing here is cedars blowing from Texas. In my mind, I am thinking, dogs - I need to vacuum. That was the end of the conversation, I finished my infusion and continued on.
A couple days later, the itching is going through and through my body. I am going nuts trying to figure it out - continuously running it through my mind... what is making me itch?!? Dr had told me to take Benadryl and if it got really bad just to take Atarax - the super Benadryl. I did. It hadn't helped. I dusted, I vacuumed, I cleaned. I itched. From head to toe, I itched. No new meds, no new foods, no new laundry products.... nothing that I could pinpoint, except I am going insane from the clawing at my entire body. Scratch marks everywhere. At night, you don't even know what you are doing!
Yesterday I take my morning meds, and was struggling with the itching. At this point, even my eyes are itching terribly. Thinking it through again... I remembered having told someone about it... oh, it was Dr. That was 3 weeks ago today. And it just had the itching in my head/throat/sinuses and chest. Now it was through and through. I am miserable. Wait.... I started that antibiotic 3 days prior to going to him! Yes, it is the antibiotic - and damned it - I just took my morning one!
Good grief. Why can't I figure this crap out? Why did it take 3 freaking weeks? *sigh*
And is it a side effect or an allergy? Am I down to 2 antibiotics? Dr again next Monday. No antibiotics until I see him again.
Brain fog sucks.
