Overshare?

Weird day today. (Monday, which is yesterday now, but what's an hour or so?)

I don't know if this is the sort of thing you should tell the world because it's kinda icky... but I can't help it. I'm just too open.

This morning I got this awful rash all over the backs of my legs. I had a shower and it calmed down, so I went to my Snow White rehearsal (which was great!).

While I was teaching my brother phonetics in the evening, my top lip swelled up enormously and my whole face started to get puffy. The weird rash on my legs came back, but now it was all over my body. It was really itchy.

Unsure of what caused it, mum and I went down to emergency to see a doctor. They triaged me pretty quickly this time because they were concerned that my throat could swell up. It didn't. Dr Eaton (a fellow thespian as it turns out, and a merry old soul) explained that it's probably viral, but could be an allergy. They gave me a Telfast (and tried to give me Quarterzone but mum wasn't keen so I didn't take it) and sent me home with a script for more Quarterzone (which is a last resort - messes with your immune system, no thanks). So yeah, I'm covered in hives and I have enormous lips! The itching has subsided, but they said it could take weeks for the hives to go away. I'm just hoping my face goes back to normal very soon because man, I look hideous!

So everybody give me sympathy!
