Thanks all of you, you are all so sweet, each and every one of you.
Yes, stressed bad. My poor mamma has delrium now and was admitted back again to the hospital with kidney problems. I am trying to get her hospitalized where I work, as we are a big medical center with lots of resources. She's not stable enought to travel though.
I wanted to go get her, as my family doesn't agree with me, but I am afraid to drive up there (five hour drive). I am afraid I will shock out. I feel really torn about it, but I know that I could only add to our problems if I started shocking all over the place.
And in between all of this mess I have a job inteview Friday. I did get a new haircut though, so maybe with some makeup and antihistamines, I can pull it off.
And for now at work, I'm helping with the bone marrow transplants on the mice!
My life is just so weird!!!!
Anyway, my allergist here had me trying a new dose of Allegra. He said I could go up to the 180 mg. We are working it up slowly, 30 mg more each night. I am at 120 tonight, and it makes my legs feel weak and I have weird twitches. Ever get that with Allegra? Wondering if I have to get used to it. I am finishing up my prednisone today.
I have a kit coming in the mail from Mayo for the 24 hr U collection, so maybe I can catch what mediator is up and causing problems. Seems like I am going to the bathroom a lot.
This is my usual flare up presentation. The weird part was the burning skin, like I was dipped in acid, during the attack. Does anybody else get that? Got all red too, major flush. Those are new for me.
Tryptase has been stable for seven years, always around 20. I did catch a sample after the attack, so we'll see what that reads when we get the test results back.
Keep praying for me gang, I'm whipped out this time!
Love you all -Jilly
