Arm on Fire

Hello!

Sorry, I've been so busy I almost forgot about writing here. My bad.

So I went to see an allergist today to figure out about my skin allergies. Over the past year, my skin has become really sensitive. I have been breaking out from random rashes over different things that touch my skin. For example, I'll buy a lip balm, use it for 2 days, then get blisters on my lip! (Sooo attractive, I know haha) So I'm driving to the allergist's office this morning, and because it was snowing people drive like they're 90 years old (extremely slowly). So I phone to let them know that I'll be 5-10 minutes late, and the receptionist goes, "that doctor's not in today"...what?! So I was a bit peeved because I took time off for this appointment, just in case something went awry and I ended up getting sick...and I don't like it when my plans get messed up. So I was about to turn around, but the positive aspect?? She got me in with another doctor! Which is good because I haven't heard many good things about the doctor I was going to see anyways. So it all worked out! (even though I had to wait a few hours and didn't get out until well after lunch)

So, my arm's been on fire all day. I have about 30 diskettes taped to my upper left arm, and it's swollen and itchy. Positive thing: I'll finally figure out some of what I'm allergic to! One fear I have though is that I know one of the discs is nickel (and I'm very allergic to nickel), so I hope it's not just that one that's itchy...I just don't want it to show that I'm not allergic to anything else because I know that there are other things. I guess I'm just fearful of the test not being sensitive enough. But to think POSITIVELY, if it's not conclusive they can do a skin-prick test instead of just a transdermal one. So that's good!

I will keep you posted on the results! :)

Thanks for reading!
