The Saga continues.

I presently have lesions on my head that are WORSE than any I ever had in the beginning that lead to me being dx with lyme.

I felt like it was some kind of food allergy. I thought it might be soy. or milk. I still think milk might be an allergen.

I have huge marble/kidney bean (well they feel big when they are swelled up on your head!) size bumps on the back of my head. I had two large ones today behind my ears and the doctor said they were NOT lymph nodes, which is what I had thought.

He felt they were too high up to be lymph nodeas and he though ti might be staph. So he gave me kephlex. No swab, no blood test.

After teh appointment i wanted to test to see if it might be soy, so I ate some of the same things I had easten the alst few days to see if that was the cause. Not tofutti fake cream cheese, I was sure that was it.

I took one dose of keplex.

then I ate soem cheese! (i admit it was past it's prime, i even cut off some molded area.)

and within minutes my head swelled up in lots more spots the size of beans and marbles. behind my ears and all over my scalp.

i took some vitamin C, this made it worse.

i called a friend who knows pharmaceuticals.

I took 2 ibuprofen (total 400 mg) and 2 loaratidine (total 20 mgs)

the swelling has decreased some but it still hurts.

how do i figure out if it is staph or allergic reaction to the cheese, and if allergic reaction, waht is causeing the bumps and could the cheese have had staph on it???

how do you test for that???
