I'm not #allergic to the internet....

Ugh, allergies.  I'm tending to be an allergic person, which I hate hate HATE.  I don't want to be that guy.  There are some things I'm just sensitive to, like spicy food and coffee (not pretty or fun), but there are a decent number of things that I am straight up allergic to.  Stupid stupid stuff.

Citrus fruit (huge holes all over my mouth), kiwi (tongue swells and bleeds), tape (huge rash and bruising), my dogs (hives - oops), and grass (so dumb). 

Apparently now I'm allergic to soft shelled crab.  Can spider roll?  Yummy no more.  I ate a bunch a while back and got these huge awesome hives and welts all over my neck, throat and face.  Super sexy, huh?  I was soooo embarrassed to go out in public, lordy, I looked like a freakwad.  No throat swelling, or anything like that, just nastiness.  I got on antihistamines...nothing.  I tried everything over the counter that they recommended....nothing.  I got on steroids....nothing.  So they had to give me a steroid shot...fucking worst pain in my life.  I honestly thought my arm was going to fall off.  My pain tolerance is way crazy high and I'm a tough chick, and I almost cried....and still they remained.  I had to do another awesome round of steroid pills to finally get them to go away.  Dang pesky little turds. 

So today I am going in for a skin allergy test.  Yikes.  I don't know if they will do it on my back or arm, but I'm kinda not super psyched.  I had a weird reaction to a normal meal the other day, so I suppose I better get it figured out before my body decides to shut down (allergic reactions are generally progressive, so it could get worse and worse) and just die.  And I don't want to stop eating shellfish for the rest of my life if I'm only allergic to soft shelled crab.  I love me some seafood!  So, yeah.  Let's hope it goes good and I don't cry.  I'll be there alone so no one will know....
