Glad yesterday is over!
I had a horrible day yesterday.
At 7:15am, I took a zantrex 3 (diet pill). I got the kids off to school and came back to the house. I was just saying goodbye to DF, when I doubled over in pain. It felt like something was eating my insides. It burned so badly, and I was short of breath.
Within seconds, I broke out in red splotches all over my body. It felt like I had a serious sunburn, yet it itched too. Even my face had this rash, but that felt more like windburn. It was so tender!
DF called out of work and rushed me to a medical facility. On the way, I started getting queasy, and really light headed. I even zoned out a few times.
Upon arrival, they took my vital stats and everything was normal. They could see something was wrong though just by looking at me. Not only was my skin red, but I was moving in slow motion.
They ended up giving me a shot to counteract the effect of the niacin in the diet pill. There's so much of it in there, that my body had an adverse reaction. It's weird to me because I used to take these pills all the time. This was a brand new, unopened bottle that wasn't set to expire until September of 2007.
The had me taking benedryl every 4 hours to keep the side effects from coming back. That seemed to help, but kept me very lethargic.
Im feeling much better today. It seems like yesterday was just a bad dream. Im thankful it's over though.
No news with TTC. Only change is that my temp shot up today, but it's possible it's because of yesterday's horror. Guess we'll see. I don't have any expectations since we weren't exactly trying this month (due to everything going wrong).
Im on CD28 and im 7DPO. AF is due to arrive in 6 days. If she doesn't show for whatever reason, i'll test. Im expecting her arrival though.
