"I've been having some discomfort that my doctor felt could be prostatitis. So, until I could get in for a CT scan and also see a urologist, he put me on Septra DS. Everything was going fine until day 6. I was on my 23rd anniversary weekend and I got up that morning to take a nice hot bath in the hot tub in our room. When I got out of the hot tub and started to dry off, I noticed hives on my inner thighs. Looking in the mirror, I noticed that I was also covered in hives from my armpit to my waist on both sides. The culprit? Septra DS. Within the next few hours, I was covered on my back, stomach, legs, arms, and a few on my lips. Allergic reaction."
