THE CULPRIT

amox

Apparently, I’m allergic to this antibiotic that actually proved to be anti-Jordan. It was prescribed for a throat infection about two weeks ago…I get strep throat about as easily as I get annoyed with slow drivers, but usually the Doctor prescribes a “Z-pack” which is steroids. This time my ENT opted for antibiotics…With that, I would like to say a “special thanks” to the nurse practitioner at Dr. Mierson’s office.

I know many of you are dying to see pictures of the welts. Unfortunately, that would compromise the family friendly nature of jordanrippy.com, due to the location of many of the welts…If you know what I mean…Too personal? Probably. But Benadryl knows no boundaries. Neither do hives.

    lol…kristin is rediculous. I know of two things to ease your discomfort. Part A is taking benedryl (hi-5 buddy!) and Part B is oatmeal baths. Oatmeal Baths is not like Jello Pudding wrestling…it’s much more beneficial.

    seriously, Aveeno makes a product that my mom used to make us take baths in when we had ‘the pox’ as i used to call them (I was a thug at 4 and 5- not pretty, don’t ask) but it kinda takes guts to make an oatmeal bath. If you can handle it, it really works! a LOT.
