Le Sigh

[przed]

I was hoping to catch up on my film fest reviews tonight. But whilst standing in line for an early film tonight, I had one of my periodic anaphylactic reactions-face and tongue swelling up, and as a bonus, hives everywhere--which necessitated the taking of Benedryl. The pill got me through the film without having to either use my Epi-pen or call 911, but it's now making me rather loopy, so I'll be hitting the hay early. (I haven't had a bad reaction like this since Ros was a baby, thankfully, but I do wish the cause was easily spotted. I've seen five different allergists over the years, and the best diagnosis I've ever gotten was idiopathic angio-edema. Which in real human being talk means "you swell up sometimes but we don't know why."

Just so this post isn't completely lacking in fannish content, here's my Pros Big Bang word count:



The 38,000 is a guesstimate for the overall total, but I'm beginning to fear it'll be much closer to 40k by the time it's all done. I'm having to keep telling myself I can finish this by September 23. ::takes deep calming breaths::

Anaphylaxis is an absolute terror of mine, so I'm glad you've got an Epi-pen at least, but do be careful with yourself *worried hugs* Hope you're feeling much better now.

Your word count is mighty impressive and I cannot wait for the end product! *g*

I've been having random anaphylaxis since 1992, so I pretty much know when Benedryl will knock it down, and when I should pull out the Epi-pen and call the ambulance. Still, it's massively irritating and sometimes a little worrying.

The work count is crazy, but I'm definitely in the home stretch. I'm well into the final section and this bit is finallys starting to flow.
