The bumps that hijacked my weekend

Very sorry about the hives, hon. And how ironic that your stress-free day got hijacked by stress hives.

Take care of yourself.

It was such a mean thing for my body to do! I'm trying to take care of myself, but apparently it's more challenging than I expected. Ugh.

You poor thing! What a terrible thing to happen on your day off. I can understand though, given all of the stress you've been under.

Take care and try to find more time for you sweetie. Obviously you need it!

*hugs*

I'm doing my best to find "me" time, but it hasn't been easy. That's what's been eaten away with these extra hours - my sit still and do nothing time. This weekend sounds like it's going to be another quiet one, so that will be good.

Hugs back!

I understand. But keep trying - you need that recharge time for yourself in order to be there for everyone else. I hope the weekend does turn out to be quieter and full of less spots!

I've had hives twice in my life, both stress related, so bad that it looked like I'd been burned and scarred in a fire. So I know how awful it is. Not just the itching, but just knowing how you look as well.

Hope the steroids continue to be effective. Cool showers and staying out of the heat will also help.

Sending good thoughts your way!

Exactly! Sunday was awful! I felt like such a freakshow that I wore long sleeves to cover up the worst of it. Thank God it's been in the high 70s and low 80s here, so I didn't cook when I was wearing them and I haven't been dying of heat, either.

The meds are continuing to help. I hope I'm all better by this weekend. Unfortunately, I'm stuck taking the prednisone until it's all gone and it's making me hungry! Ack!

Thanks for the good thoughts, they're appreciated. :)
