I posted some time ago here what what transpired that initially caused these hives outbreaks that I continue to experience...
With the mounting budget worries here at Alluvial Flood Plain State University, the positions of many faculty are at risk... and it was just about the time that this news broke, that I started having these issues again...
Man, did I look like a circus freak ( my apologies to any circus freaks that may read this...)
I immediately took a dosage of benadryl, but the outbreak was so well underway, it didn't help a great deal... I wound up running an extremely hot bath so I could soak... just to alleviate the discomfort associated with it all... my arms... my torso... were lit up like a Christmas Tree...
That didn't help that much with the continued swelling, but it did help with the itching... I went to back to bed... and when I woke up, I still looked like a 3rd level attraction for Barnum & Baileys Circus... I texted in sick (thank God for technology)...
And just a short while ago, the swelling had gone down enough where I didn't think I would scare women, students, and children... not that I really cared if I scared them or not... just didn't want to look like a freak in my work environment...

Michelle declared 'Happy Hour" yesterday at 3:30PM, but I had a meeting I had to make... it was pushed back until 4:30 or so...
At 5.30, I had to leave this celebration to attend a wake/visitation of an old high school friend's Dad... I behaved... I would have to admit that attending such a function under the influence of three Top Shelf Texas Margaritas is probably not a good idea... but I also didn't want to have to endure the social stigma of being kicked out of a wake by a funeral home bouncer... so I behaved...

I still haven't posted about the 'former high school girl friend' segment of my Spring Break Road Trip... It's a hell of a note to experience something like that... and then take over a week to dissect it to really try to know what transpired... no?
A couple of colleagues want me to go to lunch with them... I wonder if any of the places they want to go to offer "Elephant Man" discounts???

Try removing all electromagnetic items around your bed when you sleep at night.
ReplyDeleteLaugh all ya want, but it really works.
Some people are more affected by it then others.
I never sleep with anything electrical plugged in near me anymore. I do not own a television set and never turn on a radio near me when I'm tired.
I don't have rashes anymore either.
I hope you feel better. :)
You need to relax, it's likely caused by anxiety. Get better.
