So had some pretty crazy shit happen yesterday, I had a follow up for a yearly checkup that I just did where I needed a cat scan because I had a microscopic amount of blood in my urine during my checkup, doctors told me it could be a fluke, could be that I had kidney stones and didn't know it. They didn't say it could be anything worse, even though google kinda scared the shit outta me when I searched it later but I went ahead and started my cycle. Test E 150mg m/w/f and var 50mg a day. So I'm four days into my cycle when I go for the cat scan yesterday. I had no immediate reaction to the iodine stuff they inject, had no issues at all. In fact, the gal said a lot of times ppl feel flush in the face and whatnot, I didn't have any of that so thought nothing of it.
About an hour and a half later (about 1:30pm) I got home and it was time for my injection and var dose. (I just wanna say in hindsight it was dumb to do this so quickly after that CT scan.) About 15 minutes after that the side of my neck like right below my ears turns red and itches, I'm like..ummm ok. Waited it out, took a claritin allergy pill. By two hours later I had hives starting on my chest. I waited about another hour then had my dad come look, he was a medic and we discussed taking a benadryl but I held off for another hour, it was about 5pm at this point and I was worried about combining to much shit. Ended up taking it at about 6-7pm (25mg), felt better, started to relax (I was a bit panicked by the time I asked my dad to come look). By this time, It was later about 11pm and I was starting to get tired, felt like I could sleep but before i did, i got up to go take a piss and holy fuck now my eyes are swelling. I felt better but I went to the ER because I might be a badass but I'm not going to sleep if there is even the slight possibility that it would get worse and my throat is ganna swell up while I sleep. They gave me more benadryl and what I'm guessing was prednisone because that's what he prescribed upon leaving. I was there for about an hour and they cut me loose. Told them everything that happened and the doc was pretty chill about it, he said its likely I just had a reaction to the cat scan fluid they inject but that there were to many unknowns to know for sure.
Long story short, I really thought about aborting the whole cycle but I think what I'm going to do is wait a couple days, let the cat scan crap get out of my system and get back into my regular injection times with test, probably going to split my dose that first day and see how my body reacts and for now I'm not throwing the var back in the mix because I really think that's what did it but it could literally not even be related to aas and my body just didn't like the cat scan crap but it took a while to really notice the issues, I had never had a cat scan before and this allergic reaction seemed to happen kind of slow but it kept progressing that thats why I eventually went in to the ER.
what do you guys think, crazy huh. I feel better today, my next regular injection would be monday..should I wait a day longer than that? I'm also on a three day treatment with prednisone but the hive is pretty much gone, all the swelling was down even before I got my prednisone perscription filled today. Pretty crazy shit yeah, sorry for the long post. If anything I thought it might be a good thing to post because you never know what you'll have an allergic reaction to and im someone who generally never has allergic reactions other than like mild hey fever.
