ITCH
Last night I woke up when Jen came to bed and then I couldn't sleep. At first it was lovely, having a little check in. Then it was extremely frustrating. I didn't look at the time, so I have no idea how long I was awake. It felt like hours.
Today was a much better day than yesterday, despite feeling somewhat flare-ish and foggy and NOT appreciating the heat. Decided to attribute the more freaky of my flareup symptoms to anxiety and I eventually felt better. I got some stuff done.
I was just about to do a few last little things after my late-night snack, when I was seized by itching. First a horrible, stabbing vaginal itch that crawled right up through the center of me. Then all over crawliness. Was scratching the back of my head when I found a large lump rising behind my left ear. There are no other skin symptoms, just a nasty, traveling itch. Was is something I ate? Seems odd, since I ate nothing I haven't eaten before.
Spoke to the doctor on call and was told to take some Benadryl. Am trying Diphenhydramine because it is what we have on hand. It's only a month expired, um.
No sign of anaphylaxis, so I'm to make an appointment in the morning.
Itchy palms. Itchy ears. Itchy scalp. Itchy eyes. It wanders.
I'm not happy.
