One of the lucky few :/
I'm allergic to the weirdest things.
Cephalosporins. Prawns. Stupidity. And now...artificial tears. :((
I found out the hard way today. About 2 drops into each eye, and about a minute later, I find my face puffing into a massive red balloon, and my entire body starts to itch, from head to toe.
C'mon; how many people you know are actually allergic to artificial tears? Artificial tears, of all things :( (okay, or rather, the preservatives in it)
As Puffzilla heads towards the mirror she finds her unrecognizable self staring back, with eyes looking like someone had just used it for target practice, and a warm, bloated red face with bumps all over that were practically the itchiest things she'd ever encountered ever since the last allergic reaction. And if that wasn't bad enough, the next thing she realizes is that the itching around her neck, back, arms and legs weren't just her imagination - the little red dots, according to the Magic Mirror of Truth, confirmed that. Not to mention, the red, bleary eyes. And the congested nose. Puffzilla (and every sane individual around her) knows that it's probably a good idea to pay the local GP a visit.
Allergy checklist:
Red, puffy face - check
Bleary red eyes and congested nose - check
Massive itching all over body - check
Shortness of breath - nil (thankfully)
And the end result? A jab near Puffzilla's butt and another 2 types of medications to add to Puffzilla's little goody bag of drugs. It's been a terrific holiday so far. Orthotics. Gastritis. Allergies. Possible dopamine agonists next year. And Puffzilla is now forced to sit on a pillow because her a** still hurts. There goes tomorrow's horseriding trip. And tomorrow's eyepoking session. Hopefully next week's results don't add to the lot of misery that keeps piling up so far. Maybe it's Karma. Who knows.
Puffzilla's only salvation at the moment is the fact that she's still looking forward to paying a visit to a certain Ocha shop that boasts a variety of green tea products.
This is Puffzilla, signing off to take her anti-Puff medications.
