Good morning!

I'm itchy. I've been itchy for a few days, now. It's bearable during the day but it's harder to deal with at night. I'm itchy on the soles of my feet, the palms of my hand, my armpits, my sides, my ankles, and some less mentionable areas. There's no outward sign: no redness or inflammation or anything. I'm just itchy.

This happened once before, in November of a couple years ago. It got worse and worse and then it went away. It lasted about a week, that time. I started taking benadryl at night every night, and I don't know if it made me less itchy or just knocked me out, but it did help. Maybe I'll take some tonight.

Anyway, now that I've googled this, I realize that I clearly have MS. This is why you should never, ever google your symptoms. You'll end up with a degenerative neurological disease.

There isn't much they can do; Spouse got a heavy-duty antihistamine prescription and the doctor's condolences, and warnings about further use of penicillin. He survived the first two rounds rather easily, but the third was BAD, and the fourth, if one is to come, is supposed to make his throat swell shut etc *shivers in horror*

Not that yours is necessarily penicillin allergy, it could be some other ingredient in the medicine you were taking. My bet is that it was something in the medicine since you got the symptoms so close after you stopped taking it. Just like Spouse :D
