and then this happened

Just when you think you've got it kinda bad...BOOM. Wednesday morning I woke up looking like a bad version of Lisa Rinna - my lips so swollen I couldn't close my mouth - and hives popping up like bubbles in a soda all over my body. Steroids, prayers and 24 hours later - I'm still hivey and I literally want to shred the skin of my hands and between my fingers, the itch - even after glazing myself with eczema lotion is raging. The culprit appears to be scallops which means one more entry on the naughty food list. My ears still look like raw meat - thank God for long hair. I still have swelling and hives on my face - but wow. Thank God my throat didn't close up - right? I have a ton of newfound respect for anyone who deals with chronic skin issues. I don't know how you do it. I really just want to gnaw my hands off right now. -Peace
