Sometimes I question whether or not my hives still come every day... Maybe my quasi-illness has subsided and I'm just taking medicine for nothing! Somtimes I want to test not taking any of my medications at all (there are 3).

And then there are nights like tonight, when I forget to take my meds at all and then 3 hours later I realize because it feels like my body has been doused with hot oil. I don't know, obviously, what that feels like, but it's definitely an intense burn and itch covering my entire body. I quickly become red and inflamed. I've likened it to a REALLY bad sunburn: hurts to the touch, burns so much I feel a little feverish stemming from just below the skin, itchy but too tender to itch without pain, redness. Oh, and include swollen hands, fingers, toes, facial features, and the pads of my feet.

I really hope one day this subsides, one day really soon. Cause it really is unbearable.
