ER - Staring Sarah Locks as the skanky looking patient!

So realising that my allergic reaction hadn't disappeared over night, as I had hoped it would, I thought I should visit a doctor. Now lucky for me, when I get an allergic reaction these are my key issues: I puff up (this time my left eye won the puffy contest, I was left with no eyelid creases - thats how puffy it got), I itch like a mofo, my skin peels off, leaving sores & a beautiful pink layer revealed to the outside world. My throat swells a little, as does my neck (the rugby players would have been jealous of my neck structure today), but over all, going on my previous reactions, nothing is life threatening. I stroll into the doctors. His response - go to hospital now. See, he's not seen my bodys reactions before & i think is just hoping that I don't go into anaphalactic shock right there. So that was the end of that visit. I go back to my place, throw a few things in a bag & head to Prince of Wales in Randwick, where funnily enough, I had been 2 weeks previous to see an immunologist. Hospital staff were lovely, quick & laughed at all my jokes about my gorgeous face. But this time I could see out of my eyes again, just. They gave me a first dose of phenergan. We dicussed my issues further & they also decided to give me the added boost of the steroid prednisolone. I hate taking steroids for skin issues, but today, I would have taken anything to relieve my issues. So I get to take more phenergan in a bit & more steroids tmw. I look almost like a human again. Yay. I feel a bit smilier too. Oh oh yeah - I got the cool hospital bracelet too - which I'm keeping on til I decide if I'm going to work tmw or now.

Hope everyone else had fun weekends to make up for the loss of mine.

Toodle pip.
