June 7

I have been alone this week except for my cat. 

On the home front, it has been very quiet this week. I have been neglecting everything again, but I think I am finally over whatever triggered the reaction on Sunday. Though I still do not know what triggered things. The next time I am over to SDM, I am going to ask the pharmacist if there is any places that perform scratch allergy tests without a doctor referral as my GP has refused as they have to justify the cost of doing them. 

For me, the last two major reactions I have had were from the same locale, but to avoid it means avoiding family. While that would have some benefits, if anything happens I know what my head will do to me. Duty & obligations aren't always a hardship. The issues and complications are mine to accept. It is my fault things were the way they were.

While the itchiness did ease off late Monday, I have been having issues with joint pain, aches in my chest, and chest congestion. I do not feel 100% as yet, but I feel a lot less like walking road kill. The aching in the chest is the biggest factor right now. The congestion is there a bit; which I am hoping it the cause of the discomfort. I think I am going dig out my humidifier tonight for the bedroom before I sleep. I do not do a very good job of taking care of myself, no matter what my head says I should do.
