The Allergies Saga Continues...

Firstly the lack of blog update: that was mainly due to me forcing myself to finish that literature review that I said I'd finish last week. It's finished, more or less. So that's good news.

Now, the day in the park I spent with Pete... well that back fired. I've had a record of allergic reaction with sunscreen, and sure enough, after a day with sunscreen on it's back again. The past two days (or three...) I've been spending times indoor, scratching. Not to mention the hives on my face. It's gone down a bit, but it's still itchy.

I finally got around to the chemist today, and the lady I bugged told me she has extactly the same problem, to the point that she can't wear any sunscreen. And once we got talking she said she's actually allergic to strawberries and chocolate too... just like me! Apparently strawberries and chocolate have a natural antihistamine in them and for some reason my body just reacts to it.

And I thought antihistamine is a good thing. Although, I AM using antihistamine to get this rash down. Hopefully it'll be down soon.

*yawn*... I thought the drug was non-drownsy too... but I'm just... strangely sleepy... *yawn*
