More updates on my condition...my gyn told me today, jokingly, to behave and stop having such fucking bizarre symptoms. See, for the last few weeks, I've had hideous, magnificently itchy, burning, supperating, horrible hives. I look like a plague victim.
They got really bad over the holidays...at least once a day I break down crying and screaming, scratching and clawing at my body like a tourette's victim, howling that it ITCHES! GOD HELP ME, IT ITCHES SO BAD!
So my gyn gave me medrol, which is a steroid, to (hopefully) take down the itchiness and let me survive until the 27th. I was also ordered to stay at home and avoid sick people if I knew what was good for me. I just got over what my other doctor suspected was walking pneumonia, so I found this suggestion to be eminently reasonable.
Soooo...now I get to look forward to being tweaked out on the speedlike sensation of the medrol and possibly having a round moonface from it as well. Goddamn, if it will make me stop itching, I would drink sewer cocktails right now, I just NEED for it to stop. I need to stop hurting all over. I started bleeding again last night, so I'm now itching AND bleeding/cramping. My life is the suckitude right now.
Thanks to all you sweet people who posted comments to my last entry...I will get around to posting back at you, I swear. Right now, I'm concentrating on not clawing the skin off of the backs of my hands. So once I've stopped having itch-related DTs, I'll post in y'alls journals. Really. Right now I want to curl up and wait for my pile o' pills to take effect and pout.
