Plus-Sized Pin Up

I woke up to a swollen tongue with a yellow coat. I took an antihistamine and my tongue has shown massive improvement. This is the second side effect from the prescription that I am showing. Yesterday I talked with her about my dark urine (possible side effect of the drugs), and she felt I needed to give it until Friday and push as much fluids as I could. She was concerned that it might be due to my inability to get a lot of anything down. Even though she thinks that my throat could be an allergic reaction to something (since I had not other symptoms of being sick. I felt good, but my throat hurt like hell!), I'm more likely to believe that my swollen tongue is an allergic reaction to the medicine and is independent of the initial reaction (the tonsils and glands).

I'm not taking the pill until I can talk to her on Friday. When I called on Tuesday, one of the nurses was convinced that my dark urine could not be a side effect (even though I had the paperwork from the pharmacy stating that it could be one, she had never heard of it, so it wasn't an issue). Needless to say, I would rather talk to the lady I went to in the first place. She isn't in until tomorrow and she said she would make sure to keep a spot open to see me if I needed to come in.

Until then, I am going to continue pushing the fluids and taking the antihistamine. Hopefully not taking the pill stop the problem. I would rather have bad indigestion than continue taking a pill that is causing my tongue to swell!

UPDATE:

I called to schedule an appointment for tomorrow. The nurse I talked to this time felt that I needed to come in this afternoon. Here's hoping that they can figure out what's going on!
