hello i was taking minocycline for acne for 19 days till i woke up with hives all over my legs i went to med plus and they gave me 2 different shots the next morning it was gone but as the day went on the hives started up my body from my head to my toes. i started having trouble breathing and went to the er they gave me two more shots and a medro dose pack but it was two late to get it filled. the following day i went to work in the heat and started swelling on my face i went back to the er because i was having trouble breathing again and they gave me two more steroid pills the following day i passed out the dr had gave me three differnt antihistameans the last dr has put me on 20 mgs of prednisone. i am swollen and still mild hives i have to go cool down before they go away.. how long will it take for me to get back to normal??
