is anyone else allergic to ALL classes of antibiotics?

When you are allergic to an antibiotic you can get 'desensitized' to it in the hospital, enabling you to take it temporarily. They start out with a tiny tiny dose of the med, and build up to giving you a full dose over the course of several hours. This lets you take a course of the antibiotic with no reaction (supposing you get through the desensitization with no reaction) but when you stop taking it, you become allergic again, and need to repeat the process if you wish to take the med again.
