This is what happened when I got a perm yesterday. I ended up in the ER at 2:30 a.m. getting needles jabbed into both arms and went home with 3 prescriptions. "Acute allergic reaction". Obviously this means no more perms for me and I was so excited that I finally getting one after like 5 years being unable too due to psoriasis. I have very very fine hair and it just hangs limply and looks thin without a perm. Must I react to every damn thing? They prescribed Prednisone, Claritin and cream. I am a bit nervous about the prednisone as I have heard that steroids and bi-polars don't mix well but the itching and burning started again this afternoon so I went ahead and took it and will hope for the best. I am however MUCH improved over last night. I think it broke every capillary in my face and still somewhat swollen and red in places but nothing like I was last night.

Yikes! Sorry that happened for you. As long as you're not on prednisone too long I think it should be okay. I had to take it in 2002 for a week. It made me kind of weak and shaky but I can't recall any psych effects. Feel better.
damn....i think maybe ya need ta just wrap yourself in some super heavy duty bubble paper and just sit in the middle of an empty room thats padded lol no more touching anything or trying new things for you. hope ya feel better soon
What a strong reaction! I hope it goes away fast!
