so thankful!! December 15, 2008
I dont want to get ahead of myself, and i am knocking on wood (superstitious me) but, THE HIVES ARE GONE!!!!!!!!!!! I woke up this morning and i had clear skin! no itching! no swollen throat! no stomach cramps!!! what a relief. I am just praying that it is over and i never have to feel that way again. I am still on the steroids and antihistamines. I went back to the Dr for a follow up this morning. she said i can taper off the prednisone starting today. so i will only need to be on it for three more days. yey!!! I just hope that when i go off of it, i dont get the symptoms back again. wish me luck :D I decided to do some exercise this morning. so i did the treadmill for 35 minutes and about 40 min strength training. it felt good to be back to my normal routine. I do have my appetite back too (not so sure how i feel about that ;) now, i just need to try to find out why this allergic reaction happened so it doesn’t happen again. going to make an appt with an allergist/immunologist today.
B- honey nut cheerios with light soy milk
L- salad with hard boiled egg, spinach, sunflower seeds ect. fat free dressing
S- fiber one bar
S- side salad with light catalina dressing
D- brown rice with celery and carrots, vegie riblet with pickles and onion
Yeah! Glad to hear that!
that is good news!
I’m so behind in my blog-reading! I had to go backwards and read the past few days so I could celebrate with you that the hives are gone.
Oh my GOD!!! I’m so relieved that they are gone! Your whole allergic-reaction-ordeal, it sounded horrible!!!!!
I have felt that swelling-in-my-throat-pretty-soon-I’m-not-going-to-be-able-to-breathe thing a couple times in my lifetime and I hope to never feel it again. (Mine was in 200 simultaneous ant-bites the second time.)
I’[m so glad! WooHoo! Appetite and exercise! You go, girl. =) Thanks for your encouragement on my blog. Delita
whew…. what a rough time you’ve had.
