[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Want to know the definition of irony? Having an allergic reaction (rash, general itchiness ALL OVER) to goddamned STEROIDS.
Heh. I had a reaction last weekend I think to something in the sugar scrub they used in my mani-pedi. So incredibly aggrivating because freshly manicured nails don't scratch. And I couldn't find the dog's benadryl, so I had to dope myself up on Nyquil and go to bed early.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh, geez, well yay for not have lupus or sarcoidosis. Also, rest assured that if it is lupus, I'll be able to call it a good half hour before your doctors.
Jessica, I hope D gets better quickly.

Punishingly Intricate
In other news, apparently Drew Barrymore was in my neighborhood last night, scouting locations for a movie about roller-derby! Ypsilanti!
Is derby big there?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Good luck Aims! Here's hoping your new boss isn't, well, corporate Voldemort.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Steph, when I've gotten that, it's been skin yeast infections.
Has it happened within a day of starting the 'roids? I assumed that the fairly short reaction time meant allergic reaction.
Plus, having had allergic reactions to other drugs (because my body apparently WANTS TO KILL ME), this is pretty much the same.
t edit I know it sounds crazy, but when my ear canals itch uncontrollably, it's a sure sign of a systemic allergic reaction.
Jesus. I've become one of the patients we publish articles about in my own journal.

Mostly lurking...
Ok. Very good points. You're probably right. And, honestly, it doesn't surprise me. Steroids are evil.

Well, I'd never presume to diagnose someone else (although I'm sure I *have*), but since my immune system is determined to kick my ass, I *do* recognize these symptoms when they show up *in me.*
The super fun part is that I've been totally off my Zoloft for 1 week today, so I'm already having withdrawal-induced BIG TIME mood swings. Add 'roid rage to that, and I am 10 pounds of crazy in a 5 pound bag.

They should play it safe and send you home to enjoy a 3-day weekend!
