I hate allergies :/

 

I guess I should be thankful though, I only have seasonal allergies. I'm not allergic to anything, unlike my best friend who is allergic to EVERYTHING. She has excema too. Poor girl..

 

And my dad has to take two kinds of allergy medication every day just to function haha

Ooh, ooh *raises hand eagerly* I get sick! In fact, I'm sick right now. Apparently I'm fighting off some sort of virus that doesn't give me enough of a fever to have an "excuse" to leave school, but makes me tired enough to have no real reason to be there.

I knew this one girl that was allergic to some kind of metal thing too... She had to paint the buttons on her jeans with clear nail polish or she got a little rash everywhere it touched her lol. I never noticed if she had to do anything about earrings.

Yeah the same thing happens to me. I have to sew a small piece of cloth over the button so it doesn't touch me.

:O OH YEA!! *ahem* Sorry; I just remembered that was another use for clear nail polish. :*

 

I have a strange reaction to some kind of metal, but we've only found it in one pair of earrings, so I just don't wear those.

I guess I have sensitive skin too. Back when I went tanning everyday (I can't believe I did that to my skin. But, I digress...) I kept breaking out, until I realized it was my lotion doing it. I only wear real metal jewelry, just 'cause I don't like the fake stuff ;)

 

I wore a plastic belly button ring for a few days until I couldn't stand it anymore. It itched soo bad!

Yea Myles, stay out. ;) You'll make us all feel bad for complaining. XD

 

Oh, did I mention that I break out in hives for no reason sometimes, and if I use soap on any part of my body besides my face, hands and feet, I break out in a rash that itches like the dickens. So my legs always itch after I shave.

^^ Yikes, that sounds painful! Hope you get well soon! :)

 

As for me, I've been chronically ill for the last year and a half... I won't go into details, though, because I get sick of always sounding like I'm complaining whenever I talk about my life. <_<

I will say, though, that I thought my digestive problems were over after I got my gallbladder removed last summer, but now it's looking almost certain that I've got some type of food allergy/intolerance, most likely celiac disease. Don't pretty much all processed foods contain gluten? I can deal with being sick, but not being able to eat Goldfish, cookies, bread, cake? :crying: I need my fooooood. :P

 

Edit: I think just to torture me, "processed foods" was underlined in my post with one of those rollover ad things. I put my mouse over it and this picture of a huge piece of lasagna appeared. That's just cruel. :ohno:

I've been suffering from some kind of virus or cold the last couple of days....Fever, very sore throat, and stuffy nose. I'm also a bit worried because I'm starting to suspect I might possibly have skin cancer. For the last 2 months, I've noticed some of my freckles getting very dark. And then some of them actually scabbed over and started bleeding...ok., I know...Ewwwww! Sorry, haha. Anyways, I'm really nervous about this and know I need to go to the doctors so they can check it out. The only problem (ok, well there's more than 1 actually) is I have no insurance+no money to pay for a doctors visit. I have been unemployed for the last 6 months due to the lack of jobs in my area+helping take care of my nana. I don't want to tell anyone in my family unless I actually know for sure that I have skin cancer because my family tends to blow things up and make a big deal out of everything, so I don't want to stress them out (which will in turn stress me out even more) as well since it could turn out to be nothing. Also, did I mention that I'm terrified of doctors? I have a very bad anxiety problem and pretty much freak out when I even look at a doctors office or hospital. Even though I am terrified of anything to do with the medical field, if I had insurance, I would go in a heartbeat because cancer runs in our family...Not sure if skin cancer is passed through genes, but we have a lot of family problems...My genetic make-up=a lot of problems to look forward to. Anyways, if you guys could keep me in you thoughts, I would really appreciate it. If I do end up going to the doctor I'll let you guys know the results.

 

Anyone know about how much a biopsy would cost? I know a doctors visit alone (just for seeing you) costs $100...I'm assuming they'd do a biopsy to see if the cells on my skin are cancerous or not...no idea how much that would cost though. :(

My biopsies have all been free. My doctor visits cost me $25 and she refers me. The only thing my parents have ever had to pay for are airfares. I guess one good thing about NZ is cheap medical care :).

That is nice, it would be awesome to not have to worry about having a very expensive doctor bill...the only thing I can really think of is that I could go to the hospital and they would put me on a payment schedule, but then the bill would be outrageously expensive...hospitals=money stealers (ok, not really stealers...but vastly inflated costs for everything) if you don't have insurance. As soon as I get a job and get some money coming in I am going to invest in health care insurance...it would be nice to have it anyway since I suffer from migraines and haven't been able to get medicine in a very long time and other random ailments that seem to plague my life. Seriously, I've been thinking that I don't want to have kids just because I would feel bad about passing on all of these crappy genes to them, haha.

I've got allergies to lots of seasonal stuff. And pets, which is not cool since that means no furry animals. Which mean fishies for me!But my allergies are just because of my blocked and underdeveloped sinuses. I usually get migraines at least every month, but thats not a lot since I was two I had migraines every week. Nothing helps. Not unless I catch it early. By catch it early I mean that I feel it come on, usually I do not. lol.

 

My friend is allergic to cold or hot. Well extreme temperature changes. Yes she wears like barely any clothes. I don't get her but we all looked at her funny when we were talking about allergies and I was like I have the basic dust, mold, trees, polen ect. Cats& dogs and furry animals and everyone else was like nope nothing. She just says i'm allergic to the cold. We all stayed silent lol.

 

Sickness is an everyday thing. Always a tiny headache or an allergic reaction. If I was to post it would be everyday. :(
