After two days or so, I could close my mouth properly again, and no more drool! I tend to follow directions very carefully (and with these types of medications they tell you to finish the bottle), so I continued taking the pills every six hours exactly. (Exactly means that I woke myself up at 5:30 every morning to take a pill... I love following directions!) On the 8th day, I woke up with spots on my face. Unfortunately I wasn't alarmed because this can happen from time to time on my face...
Later on in the day I concluded that the strawberries I ate the day before caused the issue, as I am sporadically allergic to them.
I continued to take the pills.
That evening, when I went to a movie with Boyfriend, two other boys and Tyson Shwaluk, I saw myself in the mirror after the movie and got scared. My face was getting really red and bumpy.
I had never had a reaction like this from strawberries before and the thought crossed my mind about the pills, but i'm an idiot.
I continued to take the pills.
When I woke up the next morning I looked like this:
This one is with calamine lotion... it was ITCHY!! So, needless to say, I was scared, and very itchy. I was spotted from my face to the bottom of my feet... at this point I stopped taking the pills. It has taken about 5 days to get back to my non-itchy rashy self, and I am very glad.
The lesson I learned is that an allergic reaction can happen even if you've been taking a certain pill for a week already. I hope you learned something too.
Also, my sister had a birthday, and my other sister put a bag on her head at the party. It was fun.
