I hate Spring!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I'm going to have something bad go on, it always seems to hit in the Spring (Feb & April usually, but this year it has been the whole Spring that's been a bugger...probably because of the late pollen season).
Back in late Feb/March I started popping all sorts of strange dry scaly itchy rashes. Then the Erethema Nodosum (burning hot red lump) on my leg. Then a biopsy was taken last week to confirm the EN, and the very next day, I almost had to go the ER because I had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylactoid, with nausea/vomiting/diarrhea/vertigo/the whole nine yards...but thankfully I had some IV Benadryl already on hand and did not have the throat swelling) to something in the few foods I had left to eat. And now my stomach has decided it doesn't want to do anything (gastroparesis flareup) and so now I'm back on TPN (food through a vein in my arm; nothing by mouth or my feeding tube) / too nauseated to even look at or think about food!
But the really odd thing is, the rashes are starting to go away now that I've not eaten anything for just over a week...
Can't I please catch a break???? I mean, I just got OFF the TPN last November...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Someone wake me up when this nightmare is OVER!!!
