I had a bad reaction to benzocaine, and after I turned blue and my oxygen rate dropped at an alarming rate, the doctors decided I had methemoglobinemia. Now I can't have certain medications because they might cause the same reaction. They treated me with methylene blue and everything was hunky-dory but I remember how terrified I was watching that oxygen number drop; my heart goes out to you, having to live with it every day. I wish you all the best!
