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!!
