aaahhhhh allergies!

And yet again my body proves itself to be a little odd.

I have all sorts of weird allergies.  Anti-inflammatories give me hives . . . which stinks because it means if I have a migraine I get tylenol.  Gee thanks.

Any type of adhesive gives me a rash.  I once wore ekg leads for a med school demonstration.  Ended up with 3 perfect circles of scab on my chest.  That was fun.

And by far my favorite - anything with nickel.  Seriously, I can't wear gold or stainless steel for more than a few hours.  (my husband still resents that he had to sink so much money into a platinum ring)

SO today I discovered a new one --- Lupron.  Seriously body - do you let me take nothing for granted?  I developed a massive welt at the injection site.  Full on histamine release red swollen itchy welt.   I am seriously hoping it was a reaction to the alcohol pad or from pinching too hard and at least if it keeps happening it doesn't get worse.   I refuse to let myself be allergic to anything in this process - just not an option at this point.  I don't care if I have to take benadryl every time I use it or if I have to keep my epi pen ever so close.  Just as failure is not an option - neither is an allergy to lupron - I am after all a little to aware on my lack of options.

Will be interesting to see if it happens again tomorrow.
