Bugs Crawling On My Skin : The Invisible Hives Urticaria

I am sitting here attempting not to claw at my skin. Writing is helping as it’s distracting my mind, and keeping my fingers occupied. If I was of lesser mental awareness, I’d likely be writing this swearing that there were in fact millions of little bugs crawling over, under, and within my skin. Alas, I [cont…]

The Sky Is Falling! The Sky Is Falling! (experiencing "Impending Doom")

It’s funny to me the ways that words on a page express themselves in real life. Nothing is more funny in this way than allergic reactions.

Today I went and splurged. I can’t really afford it, but I sooo needed it for my own mental health. I started a new job and keep gaining weight (read allergy swelling and allergy induced type 2 diabetic issues) which I need to get under-control but haven’t been able to. In the meantime, I’ve been [cont…]

I’m having new versions of the same old adventures, and attempting to relearn my own body right now. Nearly 2 years ago, I started getting AAT treatments to alieviate my food allergies. It didn’t work, or at least it didn’t seem to do much of anything as I spent the last part of last year [cont…]

Dear Body, I’d like to have my leg back please. While this numb and unfeeling sensation is fun now then, it stopped being fun about an hour ago. I no longer appreciate your sense of humor. So please, May I have my leg back now? Sincerely, Me I’ve gone to the doctor for this a [cont…]

I did something bad. Something very bad and it resulted in me having very little memory of anything I did, said, or even was supposed to do during the last 4 days or so. I vaguely remember that I’d RSVP’d to something on Thursday and didn’t show up. Other than that.. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and [cont…]
