Reaction

Yesterday I got my weekly allergy shots. I've moved to a higher dose. Yesterday was my second round of it. Normally I get grape to golf ball size circles where I got the shots. After an hour yesterday of having the shots, I began to itch everywhere!!! It was awful. I broke out in hives down my neck, my hands, and wrists. My throat began to itch too. Quentin had to leave for a dinner program and I was home with the two kids making dinner. I was going to tough it out, but I couldn't take the itch anymore. I broke down and took a Benedryl. After an hour the itching subsided. Of course you all know that you become very drowsy after taking that medicine. Needless to say after dinner I was pretty much worthless. I stuck a movie in and sat on the couch watching the Apple Dumpling Gang. Next thing I know I woke up to Stella saying, "Mom, wake up, I'm poopy." I'm glad my children as well behaved. It's the worst feeling of not being in control when I'm on medicine that makes me so tired. I was in one of those light sleeps, which was good. If there was a catastrophe I'm sure I would have heard it!!
Hopefully that'll be my one and only reaction to the shots! Otherwise every Tuesday is going to stink!!!
