One In A Million

Didja know that a few people are allergic to the preservatives in B12 injections? It's pretty rare, but it happens. Guess how I know?

That's right. I'm one of those rare people. Gee, I feel so....special. Actually, in a way I do. I had a relatively mild allergic reaction. 'Mild' meaning I didn't wake up dead this morning from anaphylactic shock. Instead I woke up in a great deal of pain, with a rash, itching and dizziness. And as the morning has progressed, a general feeling of oh god why doesn't someone shoot me now and put me out of my misery.

Not exactly Fun City, but it could've been much worse.

Soooo....I get to start my Prednisone today, as well as massive doses of Benadryl. Which I just took a little bit ago, and already I'm so goofy/sleepy I'm not sure whose boy I am. Girl I mean.

I'm going to bed.

Oh man! I'm so sorry you have to deal with that crap on top of everything else!

Benadryl and hydrocortisone creme....(I actually had to go to that clear Caladryl stuff as well)

Thinking non-itchy thoughts for you!

Thanks. I still feel pretty crappy, but the Benadryl is controlling the itching to a bearable level. So far. It and the dizziness are making me so goofy I have a hard time focusing on anything. Kinda like it gives me ADHD I guess.

Oooo, something shiny!
