So, the fever is gone. Snuck* out of town Tuesday morning, leaving behind stomach confusion (since I was running serious Calorie deficit, but my appetite was one of the last things to get back online.
* Snuck isn't standard! Who knew?

It also left behind a surprise. I now have a pink rash-lattice spread across my chest, back neck, even scalp. ( Read more... )

By and large, I don't get sick. I have a great immunes system, I guess. But you can't doge every bullet. At dinner, I found myself freezing; after dinner, I realized my head was burning up. And after a few hours at the AU Gamers Halloween event, I realized that, you know, maybe it means something. So, around elven, I skedaddled.

Yeah. The fact that my last post was at noon on Friday should explain itself well enough, so I'm not going to talk directly about it. Instead, I'm going to mention other things.

For starters: I have a blood blister on my left middle finger. It's, yes, even worse looking than the pictures show it. Closed a window on it; nasty. Fortunately, my finger ( Read more... )

You know those random muscle spasms you sometimes get in your arm? I have a vein (or possibly an artery; I don't know which) doing something similar just above my right ear.

So, you know, if I die of something internal any time soon, I'm guessing that'll have something to do with it.

I'm faced with two none-too-pleasant alternatives.

Either I have spontaneously developed an allergic reaction to Spring, which I've been told is possible, although not exactly something that one wants to have happen to them because, dude, it's Spring, a time of warmth and light and joy and flowers and birds, which should not perforce automatically ( Read more... )
