Should I Worry

I just went thru a horrid experience . I went to A pa yesterday for 2 reasons dent in my head on right side , since it showed up dragging on right side of face change in eye vision ,severe headaches. Alos went because my glands are very swollen under my chin.  ok well she is sending me to neurologist I go Friday, but the issue is about the swollen glands. Mind you I told her I do not feel sick in any way told her that and right off the bat she orders an antiobiotic KNOWING I get severe reactions from it. I am allergic to penicillin ,sulpha, erithomyicin , keflex and cipro. She said she wanted me to take 500mg of Amoxicillin. When I went to the pharmacist she said would not be wise for me to take with my background, she said she was calling the one who prescribed it. Well she said they still insisted I take it, she looked angry. Well I took one last night just one.Within 2 hrs my mouth was itching my ears throat, by 9pm I had severe rapid heartbeat and headache so bad I had to liedown in a dark room. Okay here what I;m worried I also got a very sharp pain where my liver is and noticed where I have red palm from the liver disease it was showing up more. My fibroscan was 9.9 Well I never did take another one that night was to scared. I called them up and told them what was going on there answer got to emergency
so I can get the antibiotic by iv. I said so you want me to go to emergency room pay 150 bucks without even knowing if I have an infection that's causing the swollen glands. What if they do blood work and say I don't have one, theres 150 bucks for nothing. I told them not coming back to you guys looking for new Dr. When I called the pharmacy and told them what happened they where shocked, said they have had issues with that place before. She even said she went there once and never went back. So should I call my trial nurse and let her know what happened? or just not worry cause I only took one. I don't go back for my last blood work until July. Also not doing anything else till I see neurologist, if says swollen glands are not from whats going on in my head .then going to my Hubbies Dr. the pharmacy even said better to go there. I just am so angry right now. Just so unbelievable.

I re read your post.  You were resently in a trial that is presently following you.
You should contact your trial nurse and tell them what's going on.   I'm sure they will want to have a look at you.

It sounds like you are getting horrible care. I don't mean to scare you but with symptoms like you describe, dragging on your face, and vision disturbances, you could have had a stroke. You should have been sent the the ER immediately. I wouldn't wait another minute.

Take a deep breath....very frustrating.  Yes all people in the health professionals are giving, caring and professional as we expect them to me.

Have your made a complaint to your state medical board.  Might help and make you feel like you have some say.  What a jerk.
