And oh, something really scary happened to me last night–click here for the blow-by-blow. I was home from the stomach flu since Monday. Went to the doctor and she prescribed me Compazine. Took it for 2 days. On the third day, I had a severe allergic reaction to it and had to be rushed to the ER. Apparently I had a dystonic reaction to Compazine. It was a really scary ordeal. I couldn't talk, my jaw was locked, my tongue swelled up and I was constantly grinding on my teeth. At first I blamed it on the braces but around 10pm, I couldn't take it anymore and asked Alex to drive me to the ER. The doctor there took one look at me, asked about the medications I was taking and instantly diagnosed me. I was put on an IV drip on Valium and Benedryl and felt MUCH better after. I am soooo happy it has nothing to do with the braces as I was sooo ready to get it off after that ordeal! But now, I am happy again to sport my braces. Hooray!
I can't wait till 3/20/08 when I get my uppers braced! Looking forward to that day!
