Allergic reaction to Lyme meds

Hello all, I am not sure if I should even post this topic but I guess I just need to let it out. I have had Lyme Disease for a year and have been under treatment for the last three weeks with Amoxicillin (500mg x2D) and
clarithromycin (500mg x 2D).

Yesterday I woke up with an itchy scalp and neck. By the time I got home from work in the afternoon, I was covered with the red little bumps, blisters, and red rashes. I could not see my doctor the same day so I went to the ER. Ended up that I have become allergic to the Amoxicillin. I had taken it before for H. Pylori for two weeks and didn't have problems.

I have stopped taking my meds until I can see my LLMD specialist. It won't be for another two weeks. I hope the Lyme doesn't get stronger during that time. They have me on Prednizone which is a steroid and I have read that steroids are bad for people with Lyme.

I remember having seen post from other people here asking about an itchy scalp and about red bumps. I wonder if the same thing happened to them and if this is common for people who take it for extended periods?

Opugirl, I have been having such a bad time with my health that I don't even remember what I've done to detox and when. My anxiety has been at its worst. I just got back from seeing my primary care doctor because my heart rate has been jumping to over 110 beats per minute at rest for days now. I had an EKG done and it turns out that the anxiety from the Lyme is causing it to be this high. Sometimes it goes down to normal (82 BPM) but as soon as I start to notice something wrong with me, especially the chest pains and cognitive behavior, I begin to panic and it shoots right back up. My blood pressure has also been getting up there to 165/110. Not good for my body.

I am so broke (physically and financially) right now with the hospital visits, doctor visits, medicine costs, and taking time off from work. I don't know how you all have been doing it for years.
