more wierd stuff

So I thought maybe I was finally out of the woods, my eye was better and my jaw & ear pain and swelling was gone. Aside from not being to sleep due to the steriods all was good (plus even though I wasnt sleeping I didnt mind because I am wide awake). Well, this morning I discovered I had broken out in hives, so my guess was I was allergic to the steriods (since it is the new medicine). I took my antibiotic like I was supposed to (as I have been doing for 8 or so days) and waited until I called the doctor before taking the steriod. To only find out I am having a delayed reaction to the antibiotic, and the steriods were actually helping the past few days, by trying to keep the reaction at bay. So I was told to stop the antibiotics (I only had a few left so it worked out well), to keep taking the steriods, to take claritin during the day (so I would stay awake at work) and take benadryl tonight when I get home to help calm the hives (that stuff knocks me out, so I know I will sleep tonight). If they do not improve by tomorrow I have to go back to the doctor.
I am trying to be hopeful this is the last of my issues, but Im not banking anything on it. The only good thing is the hives could be worse than they are, and now I know I am no longer just allergic to penicillin, but also sulfa based antiobiotics :)
On another note, a nice looking house just came on the market in a good location at a crazy low price for its location and size, so I am waiting to hear if our realtor thinks we should look at it. All the homes just keep getting reduced in price, so I think we should be able to get a good deal by the time we find one we like!!

So here is the deal...

OK - So I dont have an ear infection (which I kinda figured). I do have a fever, but no ear infection, my eye infection is gone (but still 4 more days of antibiotic), my glands arent swollen, but my jaw joint someone got aggravated and due to the movement got really swollen and started affecting my ears and head. So the doctor put me on steriods for 9 days (which I will still take with the antibiotics). The steriods will most likely make me irritable, nervous and will keep me awake. So I will be grumpy for 9 days!! The fever kinda threw the doctor off, but he couldnt find any other reason than my jaw, so we will see if it really solves the problem.
I go to the dentist next week so hopefully I wont have any issues there because I am not used to going to so many office visits.
But hopefully that is the end of my health problems, and I pray that these mediciations fix all these problems and that they arent really all interconnected since they are all so close to each other!!
Time will tell ...

i'm falling apart

So...The right side of my face hates me. I got the eye thing taken care of (it was an allergic reaction, not pink eye), after getting 5 days of antibiotic eye drops and pills (and 7 days of swelling) my eye is almost completely back to normal, it is still a tiny bit pink but I can wear makeup again so thats nice.
Well...now that my eye is fine my jaw or ear is mad at me. For the past 2 days my head has been hurting, yesterday I would get random moments of pain in my right ear, and my jaw was hurting pretty bad. I just figured it was my jaw acting up again and that is was affecting my ear (as it often does). Well, I woke up this morning and there is a bump (about 1 cm long) where my jaw meets my ear. And it feels like my jaw is just not in its socket, plus my ear is killing me, a few times today I've had pain in my left ear, and my overall head feels like it is going to explode. I am a little concerned that all 3 of these areas are very close to each other.
So...I am not putting it off, I have another doctors appt tomorrow at 9, they were very concered when I called about it this morning, but I couldnt get in today due to work. I really dont know what to expect tomorrow, Ian thought maybe an ear infection but what are the odds of getting one of those whenI am on antibiotics. Plus, now that my other ear is starting to hurt, plus the bump, plus the jaw pain, Im just at a loss for an explanation.
Anyway...I will let you know whats up, hopefully it will be the end of my head issues for awhile.

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT!!!

I have pink eye again!!! Like last time I was really hoping it was just a stye but no, its pink eye again!! I think I might finally go to a doctor to figure out what is wrong with my poor little right eye that is always infected :( I know, wonderful news, but thats whats going on right now.
Still looking at homes, they have been dropping in price so thats nice. We are hoping they will keep dropping a little more by the time we need to purchase in about 1 month to close in November!!

Houses!!!

So - Ian and I have started the house search. We have considered new home communities a little outside of Austin and old home communities inside of Austin, and we decided to try to find an older home (but as new as we can find one) in the same section of town we are in now (which is somewhat limited but we are gonna try). Ian really wants big trees which you just cant find in brand new home construction, plus we live in a nice area of Austin.
So, we have contacted a realtor and a mortgage lady so the process has begun!! I am very excited about this, the doggies will finally have a big fenced in yard they can spend as much time in as they want and therefore leave me alone when I want to just do nothing for a little bit. Also, I have only been dealing with the 3 flights of stairs for 2 months and I am sick of them already.
We are looking to try and close on a house by the end of November, but if something happens before that is cool, and if we have to wait till after November that is ok as well, but I am hoping by November we will have a home.
We will keep you posted, and I know you are all looking forward to updating our address once again, because moving just 1 time a year is too easy, we have to move every year plus spice things up and move from state to state, from town to town, and even sometimes even more more than once a year!!!
