Not being a generally allergic person, I am always surprised when I break out in hives or swell up like a balloon or can't stop sneezing.
But I came in contact with SOMETHING, or ate SOMETHING that has turned me into an itching, peeling, mess of a person. I suspect it is a new herbal formula the Chinese herbalist put me onto, in the never-ending quest to calm my hot flashes. So, I have stopped all supplements, started taking Benadryl (nighty-nite, Pam...) and have spent the last two days in an oatmeal bath (thanks for the suggestion, M)!
I am afflicted with a hot patch of bumps on my neck and shoulder, weeping sores on my nose and upper lip, and itchy thighs and backs of knees. I had to go out and run bill-paying errands yesterday, and now know what it's like to be a leper. People SHUN you. They glance away. They barely contain their urge to RUN from your presence.
I am homebound until my visage clears up...
