So, my derma is having me try a new combo of meds to manage my severe reaction to change in temperature, and frankly, I feel like sleeping. Yes, I haven't met an antihistamine that doesn't knock me out, even those that claim to keep you alert.
Anyway, I'm less red now, though I'm still somewhat itchy (actually, it's a lot of tiny tiny painful spots that my brain interprets as itch, according to my derma). And at least, my eyelids don't get swollen like my sister's does.
Yes, the sensitive skin runs in the family. My second ate is the same at me, we both get red and itchy in the face. My first ate and the younger brother get rashes and bumps on their arms, but they are both triggered by extreme heat/dust etc. My younger brother also has allergic rhinitis (correct spelling?), the same as my older brother. Yes, we are a family of asthmatics. My dad has skin asthma, so I'm a risk for that too. We've all outgrown our bronchial asthma, but derma is observing if we will develop skin asthma too.
On the one hand, when I was growing up, I missed a lot of school and my mom let me decide if I will go to school or not, even back in grade school. Well, I took a lot of sick days and I still graduated so that's saying something right?
Well, anyway, I have five more days of this meds combo, since this is a really bad break out. Derma observed that there are a lot more cases like me nowadays. It must be the climate change. Ho-hum.
I think I'm going to take a nap now. I hope G doesn't mind. Hihihi.
