Health Update

I have been suffering from a strange allergy-like affliction since Veteran's day and Monday I had an appointment with an allergist. Apparently, it isn't an allergy! I have chronic urticaria with dermatographism. Which means an autosomal reaction... to something... My trigger is pressure and it is intensified by heat, alcohol, and most over the counter pain medications. And then, 8 vials of blood were withdrawn along with a  cup 'o' pee. And in four weeks I should know if this has a physical cause, like a viral infection, or if it's just some weird thing I have to deal with indefinitely. In the meantime, loads of antihistamines and avoiding my triggers.
