Hello everyone.. been more active on here lately.. well, at least journal-wise. I finally got over my UTI, but then I came down with a cold.. >_o;; and to make matters worse, I was freaking out because my aunt told me her coworker contracted scabies (mites that burrow into your skin) from her boyfriend and his son, and that her coworker had been getting rides from my aunt in the back seat of her car where I usually sit >_>;; thankfully I did research and it's only if you have prolonged contact with the person who's infested, which I never see her coworker. So yeah, anyways, I started to get really itchy on my legs.. to the point where I'd get welts from scratching so bad. I was really paranoid about the skin bugs thing so I was like "OMG I HAVE ITTTT", but I realized that when the itching started, I had just taken Mucinex for the first time about a day prior and the spots where I was itchy (which was everywhere) wasn't similar symptoms to scabies, plus it takes weeks to see scabies symptoms if you've never had it, so I believe I'm having an allergic reaction to the medication @__@;; I had to get benadryl and some hydrocortisone cream to help with the itching.. I took 2 benadryl and pretty much passed out for like 5 hours I woke up with a nasty cramping in my lower stomach area (around the uterus) and it was pretty agonizing >_<.. thankfully it subsided not too long ago.

YEAH, so I'm done with going from one sickness to the next. I'm taking tomorrow off from school so that I can rest up and let my body work out the Mucinex from my system so that I'm healthy again. Thank god I only took 1 pill O__O;; it said I could take 2, but I was weary lol. Good thing I didn't..
