pennywhistleI have allergies.
This was discovered by poking me with sharp needles about 50 times (seriously!!!) yesterday. First they tested my back. That didn't hurt so much, they just scratched it a little. Several allergens reacted, including dust and leaves and grass. Everything that DIDN'T react on my back they had to test on my inner arms. THOSE hurt. There were eight on each arm. They'd given me a topical medicine to numb the arm, but they still hurt. It was like getting 8 tuberculosis tests one right after another. Then I reacted to cats, dogs, and several other things. The doctor was impressed by how many things I reacted to. They got me started on shots right away, so there were two more pricks. Yes, I'm allergic to so many things that they don't all fit into one vial, so I have to get two shots at a time. The shots themselves don't hurt, I'm so used to them, I didn't even flinch. Currently getting them once a week until I can build up immunity to space them out. I feel better already ^_^ Or it could just be that I'm allowed to take my Zyrtec again. Either way, this should keep me from getting sick so often.
Hee hee, I look like a junkie with needle marks all over my arm ^_~
