I had a rough night last night.
I waited a good 2 hours after I took my syringe out of the refrigerator, took my Benadryl, used warmth just before I shot myself, then gave myself my shot.
OUCH OUCH OUCH
Last night was only about the second time the needle hurt going in, and it was downhill from there. It was a painful injection, then started the searing burn. While feeling something trying to burn its way out of my body, I felt itchy, so I looked and I was breaking out in hives. So I'm in pain from the needle, I have burning and stinging from the medicine, AND I'm itchy. I popped another Benadryl, and in about 40 minutes I stopped itching.
I woke up today really groggy from 2 Benadryl, and my site was painful. And itchy. You know the scene from A Christmas Story when Ralph says “In the heat of battle my father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan”? That was me last night and this morning.
I took a Claritin and some ibuprofen. The burning is bearable now, and the itching has all but stopped.
I'm trying to decorate for Halloween today, but it's hot and sunny here, which is not conducive for me doing things. I do one thing, sit for a while, then repeat.
So, please forgive the short whiny post, it's all I got today.
