Something I'm allergic to...










If you don't know any of my story you don't follow me on Twitter or Facebook. I will have to make some time to write out a decent account of what happened later. I had an acute allergic reaction to something. I think it was a stain fighter additive for the laundry. I don't know for sure and I won't know until I get my referral to a specialist.

It's been a long week. This started on Friday
at work, landed in the ER on Ssturday night, ended up calling the NP on call Sunday, she phoned in another Rx and got to squeeze in an appointment on Tuesday to see my regular doctor because it just keeps coming back. The ER put me on Prednisone for five days along with a bunch of other crap too, butbi think the pred has the worst of all the side effects. Irritability, sleeplessness, dry mouth, dizziness, blurred vision, lack of concentration. I never knew all this could happen from taking a steriod! It sucks big time!

I'm trying to get to bed at a decent hour tonight but I'm no sure it's going to be possible since the DH is chopping down a forest next to me!

Till next time. I hope to have more details and pictures.
