Thursday morning my back starts itching, think it's probably dry skin and
dont worry to much about it. Then my scalp starts itching, then under my
arms and so on until by that night I'm about 20% covered in hives..

I call the nurse hotline number provided by my insurance company to get
their take on it. She goes over my symptoms and tells me to go to the
emergency room if it gets any worse. The next morning I'm closer to 60%
covered and now it's burning so off to urgent care. I after a miserable
hour in the waiting room (where my tongue started to swell, fun funf), I
get seen by a nurse practitioner, then a doctor, then another doctor, then
the 2 EMTs they've called to transport me to the hospital where I got to
spend 3 days and 2 fun filled sleepless nights getting pumped full of
epinephrin, various steriods, benadryl and other antihistamines.

It's great fun to lie in bed and feel the steroid being inserted into your
IV line go into your heart (it burns a little bit) and distribute
throughout your body, followed by benadryl enveloping your limbs in a
psuedo numbness. The only thing that sucks worse than hospital food is
basic cable. There's nothing on at 3am.

So now, I'm the proud owner of an epipen (not quite as cool as the scene in
pulp fiction but close) and a mystery allergy. We have no idea what
started this. I've never had it happen before and I'd eaten nothing new

Dude!! I feel your pain but I'm a bit closer to the source. Allergic
to bell peppers and bees...but the big thing is some unidientified bug
that has bit me twice and put me in the same boat you were in...I know
it sucks...hope you are better....

Perzactly... I was thinking it sounded like he'd been bit by something
nasty.

Like a Slick-bug or a mia-fly.

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very
well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive,
we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build
your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a
gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will
follow ours." (General Sir Charles Napier)
