Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This is my unsurprised face.

Edit: About Amanda Palmer, not about anything relating to hives.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Leaking Messy Drama should've been AP's band name all along, but I feel for their kid and for the fact that they really seemed to make each other wonderfully happy for a while.
