Perfume is EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aspiemama]

My body is punishing me.  Saturday night was the Relief Society General Women's Meeting in preparation for General Conference this next weekend.  I decided I would be good for once in my life and actually go.  BIG MISTAKE.  The talks were wonderful, what I was conscious for anyway.  There were so many women there, with so much perfume on, that you could smell it all throughout the building.  I sat outside the chapel, as far from it as I could while still being in hearing range of the speaker and right next to an open door.  I still ended up being too weak, by the end of the meeting, to stand up.  Then, instead of going straight home, I was stupid enough to stay for the dinner afterwards.  Not having put myself in risk enough, I then was stupid enough to go to church the next day and sit through another three hours of exposure, despite an intense fear of going that I should have interpreted as the Lord warning me to stay home.  I left church weak enough that I was having a hard time walking.  Ok, I was almost that weak before church because of the exposure the night before, but it was worse after church.  I spent the rest of the day on the couch resting, was unable to get to sleep till 3:30 that night, and have been extremely grouchy for the last 48 hours.  Robert was about ready to kill me.  My body gave me the coup de grace tonight.  The worst migraine I have EVER had.  Like, the head pain is actually enough to make me cry.  Usually my migraines are rather mild and only differ from regular headaches in that I have a touch of light sensitivity and a bit of nausea.  I have taken 2 Excedrin already and the pain has actually gotten worse instead of better.  The nausea is so bad that even the thought of eating dinner makes me want to throw up.  And I am trembling all over.  I can honestly say I have never been so miserable in my entire life.

This isn't fair.  I shouldn't have to make a choice between going to church and feeling well.  I shouldn't have to put my health on the line in order to worship.  IT'S NOT FAIR!
