I had strep throat, which I'm pretty sure I got from Scott. I went to the doctor, who gave me GINORMOUS pills of Amoxicillan. After a few days, my throat was only getting worse and I couldn't swallow, so I went back to the doctor, who then told me I should have gone to the ER instead of just keeping a spit cup next to me. They changed me over to even larger pills of augmenten. The Augmenten worked and my strep started to go away. I was only drooling on myself minimally.
Friday night, I went out to the Uptown Tavern with Tara to see one of her friend's band play. It was great. He came to hang out afterwards and I slept on the pull out couch in the living room.
Woke up Saturday morning and my face felt puffy. I went into the bathroom and my face, chest and upper arms were covered in hives. I had a minor melt down and almost freaked out. Tara woke up Dan and we all went to the ER. Drugs were administered and the swelling went down and the itching stopped.
Sunday morning, I woke up looking like that crazy plastic surgery pornstar (the one with the EEE cup size, huge lips and Betty Page hair, most recently seen on Insomniac with Dave Attel). My lips were swollen so much that my lip ring was cutting into them and when I took out my nosering, the hole shut really tight. I unpuffed a little and went to work. The hives had turned into a rash and covered my entire body, including the soles of my feet and palms of my hands.
After work, I went to the ER at Lahey Clinic and the man gave me more benadryl, which wasn't working to begin with. I hated him.
Monday, I started my internship, went to work and started to itch. A lot. I ended up driving to my mother's house in the wee hours of the morning and we went back to the ER and they gave me medicine for the itching finally.
So, I was kind of crabby for most of the last couple of weeks. And I can finally sit for longer than 30 seconds without wanting to tear off my skin.
I am a beast. Go see Hitch, it was funny.
