I will be so glad when this crap has finally run its course.
The rash or hives or whatever it is has spread to pretty much my entire torso, upper arms, and upper legs. The good news is that it doesn't itch at all, which is an improvement over Sunday night/Monday morning. However, my hands are still swollen only slightly less than they were by Monday night/all day Tuesday. I can type, obviously, but if I try to grip or hold something, or even just make a fist, it's pretty annoyingly painful, which is why I try to avoid doing this as much as possible. On the bright side, that seems to be receding though. But now, however, it has spread to my feet and caused them to swell up as well, as of yesterday evening or so, such that I can hardly walk more than four or five steps before I have to just stop and take the weight off of them due to the stinging. Basically, imagine that you've been stung by a bee or something on the bottoms of both of your feet at the same time. That's pretty much what it's like for me at the moment. Needless to say, it sucks hairy ass.
I've pretty much been doped up to the eyeballs on antihistamine since Monday afternoon. It has helped quite a bit, though it makes me drowsy, and doesn't really help much with the walking thing or the hand-grip thing.
I've only been to one class this week, yesterday afternoon, and that was because I had an assignment due. Luckily, the thing with my feet only seemed to really set in after I got back from that last night. However, I've got another class this evening in which a fairly big project is due. If I still feel this evening the way I do now (i.e. I'm still unable to reasonably walk), I'm probably just going to email the project to the teacher and lay out of that class as well.
(UPDATE)
Blaugh. Emailed in my project, but not going to class. It sucks because this class only meets once a week, but I don't know if I could have stood it for 3 hours + 20 minutes combined walking to and from the Park & Ride + 20 to 30 minutes combined sitting on the bus to and from.
(/UPDATE)
I really, really hope this stuff has cleared up some by tomorrow, though, because I can't afford to miss any more of GAM class.
