Called in unwell to work this morning...

Some sort of virus-y thing has attacked my tum, and it's not pretty, but hopefully shortlived. Last night about 11, I had a sneezing fit,too, which I haven't had in a long long time.

As a separate health issue, [livejournal.com profile] abqdan has diagnosed me with "allergic contact dermatitis" and I won't disagree with him. Since I had the flu in February, and after a round of Zithromax (sp?) antibiotic, I often get red welts and streaks that run randomly over my stomach, sides, chest, arms without rhyme or reason. They go away after a while, if I take Claratin. If someone runs a fingernail lightly on my forearms, I get a red welt that lasts an hour or two. Weird. I did see a dermatologist in April about it, but he more or less poo-poo'ed me. But he did accept my money.

Anyway, this isn't the optimal way to have a day off. :(

Go to the drugstore. Look for "Aveeno" brand oatmeal-based bath powder (comes in foil packets in a box). Draw a warm (not hot) tub using one of the packets. It will help soothe the dermatitis.
