HIVES!!

NO, not beehives.....the fickin hives I get from using hair conditioners....among other things that manage to catch me by surprise. Like a lot of cleaning products, bleach, my own sweat (such fun being allergic to myself!) sometimes from nerves. I don't think I'm nervous, and I did just use hair conditioner a couple of days ago. It's the same one I've been using for months now, but it was the end of the bottle, so maybe it got its ingredients all mooshed together and they ganged up to attack me.

Anyway, I've been having a lot more reaction then usual and my hand is swollen up....itchy....painful...and just plain annoying as hell! Of course it had to be my right hand, so if anyone gets out of line and I need to make a fist to pop them one, I'm out of luck....sigh. Lucky for me, I use pretty much zero physical retaliation when something or someone gets my adrenalin pumping....all bark and very little bite.

So I've finally gone on another remedy hunt...gotta love Amazon.com...they have everything I've ever looked for. I should be getting this homeopathic remedy in just a couple of days, sure hope it works. Of course with my luck, the symptoms will probably have faded by then anyway.

But if this is an indication of a repeat of what happened with the hives when they first started in '03, then it won't go to waste!
