Well, I've pretty much been a mess for about the last month.. healthwise that is.
I'm not really sure when it started, I think it was sometime in mid-July my "hives" started to return.
Some of you may remember a while back, actually a long while back, I think about 5 years ago, I had a huge battle with hives and allergies, and of course after going to the Dr, Mayo Clinc for allergy tests I "got nothing".... the only thing I learned is I do not have any airbornne allergies.
I know I am highly sensitive to beauty products, and have allergies to metals, and have been know to break out in hives from eating a can of black olives, but that is pretty much it. It has been really hard for me to pinpoint what is causing my hives, itchy palms, itchy scalp and itchy soles of my feet.
So besides that, I have been also questioning whether I have some food allergies due to my awful complexion, I have chronic millia, and have been lactose intolerant for years.
Then, I broke my toe a couple weeks ago, the night before we went to Adventureland.. that was a joy.. and I think I've had well over 100 mosquito bites in the last month at the lake. In fact, I scratched mosquito bites so bad, I have scabs all over the top of my feet and ankles.
Due to all of the above, I have't been sleeping well, waking up every hour or two to scratch my palms to death, walk around the house in hope of relief from something and try to get back to sleep.
So, with all that going on, we did a mini vacation in Des Moines, the kids are back in school and I get an opportunity to blog on this beautiful rainy day!
