Symptom narrative

I was dizzy, had bad nausea, I nearly passed out, it made me feel severely dehydrated and body became over heated. I had headaches that lasted for 4 days. I developed a knot on my left arm at the injection site. It spread down my arm; it looked whelped and red. It hurt, itched and was warm to the touch. I measured the spreading of the knot with a food grade maker. As the knot spread my arm became stiff to the point it effected my range of motion. I tried cold compress, hydrocortisone cream 1% and taking Benadryl in conjunction with my daily Zyrtec. it did not stop the reaction at all and the knot continued to spread. Dr prescribed Prednisone. After 14 days of Prednisone the knot and other symptoms were gone, however a permanent mark can still be seen at the injection site. Pictures of reaction and progress was sent to my Allergist Dr. (name withheld).
