Older

 Back to the dermatologist today because of a bad reaction to the doxycycline. (Which cruises another antibiotic off the list that includes amoxicillin (severe heartburn, chest pain), clindamyacin (extreme sun sensitivity), cephalexin (burning chest pain, left arm pain) and sulfa drugs (angioedema).  I may be missing one...) Doxycycline caused a severe headache (a rare side effect that could indicate increased intracranial pressure) and diarrhea (a completely expected side effect). So that's fun. 

At the same time I'm dealing with some idiopathic allergic reaction that has had me taking benadryl for days (which probably didn't help the antibiotic response I had). I'm off that as of today.

Getting old(er) sucks.
