If the new drugs don't help, I will probably move to the next step of cutting off my arm. It's the left one, so I don't really need it.
But thanks for the info. We might have some of that lying around here.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Maria, it's a different neighborhood, but not too far from where I've been living. I'm REALLY looking forward to not having to climb a steep hill whenever I need to go anywhere. Going to have to come up with new routines, but it's right near a Metro stop, so transportation should be easier.

Thrive to spite them
Learned something scary at work. If we get another order for non essential businesses to close we will be laid off because we can only be furloughed once in a time frame.
Considering how many people are not being safe I assume I will be laid off in June at least by July.

Looks like Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer have split up and she's already leaking messy drama.

Our wings are not tired.
At least if you have to go on unemployment they have the extra $600 a week thing. I know people in Florida pleasantly surprised with that one.

Oh No!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What is even happening?
Dana, once when I had a weird reaction to something that give me hives, my doctor told me that in addition to antihistamines, I could also take any of the acid blockers that are histamine-2 antagonists (Axid, Zantac, Tagamet, Pepcid, or any of their generics). Apparently, even though the histamine they target is primarily in the GI tract, they also are helpful in dermatological allergic reactions. And it did actually help my hives.
So if the new antihistamine isn't helpful enough, you could try adding Zantac to see if it helps.
I get bad (but so far, not systemic) reactions to bee/wasp stings. They gave me Zantac at the E.R. once, along with Benadryl and I've taken it since.
The thing is Zantac (generic: Ranitidine) has been recalled due to cancer risk. [link] I just know this, because it was shortly after we got a shit-ton for my youngest.
Look at one of the others, not Zantac/Ranitidine.
I hope you feel better, Dana. Hives suck.

This is my unsurprised face.
Edit: About Amanda Palmer, not about anything relating to hives.
