| Oh yah, that unfortunately was the first site I came upon after I got bitten! How awful and not to mention gross! Bleh! Well, my finger is good as new, just a few remnants of teeth and freakin fang marks! I really didn't even start to notice a difference til I took the antihistamine. Can their bites really be that similar to a bee sting, or do they cause a completely different allergice reaction? My allergy history isn't too impressive, just the usual suspects.. dust and cats mostly, but sometimes seasonal things will get me going. My boyfriend mulched the dead leaves over the weekend and I couldn't be out in the yard! Anyways, I got a morphine shot, took hydroxyzine (Vistaril), and Motrin, and later Vicodin. The pain killers really didn't do all that much, surprisingly and that damn shot really hurt. I think the antihistamine did the trick... and ice... lots and lots of ice! |

You got a morphine shot? You poor man 
Seriously, that had to be the worst experience for me, I thought I was gonna die when I was given one. The Vicodin is always nice though 
I figured the good old RICE technique was the way to go on this one, can't say I ever went through what you did though!
My husband also saw that website and was really put off about me getting a hognose, because of my family's history. I lucked out on the allergy sides of things though, with cats, dust and pollen and mold. I always said I was allergic to the UK, because when I moved here from the states my allergies went haywire. Turns out, because it's cooler and damper over here, it was the mold that bothering me. But I think the allergy meds you can get in the states (over the counter and prescribed) are a lot better than the ones available here. So I always stock up when I go over to the states for a visit.  |

I have many allergies, around 30 or so I believe, but luckily not one of them is anything more than skin irritations and trouble breathing when it happens, I have always been extremely unlucky health wise! :P
Tbh I think even though I have allergies if I was bitten and had a reaction because of how mild all the rest are id probably just get a rash and a touch more swelling, but who knows!
And as for morphine, OMG, I had a terrible experience, it made me painfully sick, I had to be rolled onto my side so I could puke without choking, such a beautiful experience! ;)
Lets be real, antihistamines over here are the hugest heap of poo ever! :P And Im allergic to dust and mold spores too so I cant do any cleaning without taking meds an hour previous! Its great.
I think the best pain killers you can get from your GP for pain seem to be Naproxen (or however you spell it), its not once made me drowsy and they are the only painkillers I have ever had that give me entire pain relief. :)
But anyway, Ill shut up now.

Um, I'm a lady, lol! It's ok. Without avatars it's hard to tell if some people are men or women! And the morphine shot was awesome! |
