My body hates me

I haven't posted in forever, not that it really matters that much. Life has been fairly good. James and I are doing well. School is almost over, graduating in a couple weeks. All things considered things haven't been too bad.

That is of course, if you don't count being sick since January.

1. January, got a bad cold, or mild flu
2. Late January, developed a dry cough
3. February, cough gets progressively worse
4. First week of March, I can barely breathe with all the coughing, dark green/brown stuff coming out of lungs. I want to die.
5. Second week of March, Go to the doctor, get chest x-ray. Told I have pneumonia. Get antibiotics. Also cough medicine.
6. Third week of March, No improvement. Go to doctor. Get blood drawn. Pertussis now. Antibiotics from pneumonia "should be working" for this too.
7. Fourth week of March, No improvement. Go to doctor. They want to refer me, screw that.
8. Next day, go to my family doctor. She says: Gastroesophogeal Reflux Disorder + potential allergies + potential asthma (neither of which I've had before). Get 5 medications.
9. Early April, symptoms seem to be getting better. Cough not as intense. More energy. Yay.
10. Last week, still coughing but I do feel a bit better.
11. Yesterday, my body broke out in fucking hives. I look like a leper. Funny thing is, I'm already on anti-allergy medication. So I added benadryl to the list of things I'm taking. No idea at all what triggered it.
12. Today, Hives are worse, cover most of my body. Constant waves of chills and my skin is swollen and hot to the touch.

My body hates me.

Going to try and go to work here in a minute, but I have a feeling Ruth will take one look at me and send me home. She hasn't let me work in a few weeks with being sick and I was just going to start going out today. My body apparently says no.

work, school, life, sick
