So I have a wee problem. Late last week, I woke up, my lips were so dry and chapped they were bleeding. This problem continued for a while. Lots of Burt's Bees lip balm applied. Some Ozonol to try to heal the cracks and bleeding.
A day or so later, I have what appears to be a wee reddish pimple above my lip.
This problem gets owrse. More spring up. It gets itchy. Lips? Still painfully dry; eating anything with pretty well any seasoning makes lips sting. The way they would if they were all dry and chapped and, hi, bleeding if I smile too big. Or yawn to big.
Cue yesterday. Mouth very swollen. Rash all the way around. Ithcy as fuck. Go out to dinner with my parents -- chinese food -- very salty and spicy and my lips hurt again on top of the itching. So we stop at a shoppers Drug Mart on the way, I go to the antihistimes. I've tried a lot of stuff for my allergies (since I have some very severe enivironmental ones) and grab Benadryl, since it's one I've never tried. Talk to the pharmaicist; he's all "yes, hon, you DO need to see your doctor" as well as saying that the Benadryl may cause drowsiness. However, take two as soon as possible, and then one every four to six hours.
Took the two when I got home at 7:30 ish last night. Was pretty well unconcious on my feet by 9:00. Went to bed. Still, despite how groggy I was, managed to actually wake up around 12:30 and again at 6:00. Took one pill each time.
HOLY CRAP I FEEL LIKE I'M HAVING A BAD TRIP AND I HAVE TO GO TO WORK AND AGH. As I get to this point, LI have been typing this entry for a half hour to ensure it's coherent. I'm shaky, very aware of my heartbeat, and I just want to go back to bed but I have to leave for work in ten minutes. I am very aware of things, but I'm spacey, it's strange, and it's taking so much concentration to be coherent. Agh.
This? Is exactly what I went through when I was having those problem siwth my back last summer and was taking extra strength Robaxecet (muscle relaxant) so I could sleep at night and be somewhat functioning through the day.
I DON'T LIKE IT. THIS IS WHY I DO NOT DO DRUGS. It is bad. :(
OK. Off to work with me. HA HA HA HA this'll be a fucking JOKE.
