OH MY GOODNESS!!!!   This is really really tremendous news!!!!    I´ve been sooo fearful of going to do any kind of dental work and putting it off mainly due to how badly I reacted to lidocaine last year!!!

I went to the Albert Einstein hospital, where we have some masto doctors.  I went to join a study and they wanted a skin biopsy and I didn´t premedicate because I didn´t think it was  ncessary.  I really had no clue that I would react to the local!    OH MY GOODNESS!    It was like something out a movie and the doctors came right out of the woodwork, totally freaking out!  They called a code red on me and put me into the ER all hooked up to the machines, but thankfully the dermatologist had been listening to me when I told him that I can go into a prolonged LOC and that I needed IV antihistamines and steroids to pull me out of the reaction.  Sure enough they followed his instructions and I went walking out of there about 2 hours later, but oh what a ride it was!!!


But this is tremendous news, Ana and now all I need to do is figure out if we can get IV benedryl in my town.  

Thanks for the heads up about this, this really is tremendous!

Now I just had anaphylaxis to amoxicillin

trying to settle the flare so someone can take the rest of my tooth out

not doing well

had to stop antibiotic and have a raging facial infection

I'm so sorry you are going through this--have they figured anything out? Thanks for sharing the info on the Benadryl. I also react to lidocaine.  I hope you feel better soon.

Lisa--I had fillings filled with no anesthetic twice this year already and did well. I did premedicate just in case I reacted to the bonding on the fillings or something. There was a little nerve pain, but not much, and it was better than having a reaction  I also made them rinse my mouth frequently, and that helped.    --Sarah
