So, I left the thread announcing that I had been prescribed antibiotics for an infected toe whilst on holiday.
I obtained the antibiotics on Friday morning and took the first at 11am and the second at 2pm.
By 4pm I was in the most excruciating abdominal pain. I waited for a couple of hours to see if the pain would get better - Stopped the pills and dialled 111 because I was in such pain. They asked all the necessary questions and sent out an ambulance. I was taken to Truro hospital and arrived at about 9pm.
So to cut a long story short they started with off the shelf painkillers and gradually went up the scale until I was given morphine which was the only thing that deadened the pain. I had S&D as well.
I was released at 6am. Neither of us had any sleep, well I did once the morphine took effect. DH drove home today and is sat exhausted.
So allergic to penicillin, which at 77 has never happened in my life. The morphine is beginning to wear off and my stomach is complaining, but not so bad as last night🤞I have to go right back to A&E. if the pain gets bad again. All antibiotics have been stopped as the markers in one of the blood tests showed a low level of bacteria.
I’m still wobbly and very sleepy.
