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::

Oh crikey, I hope you feel better soon! D: That sounds awful. Good luck with your Big Bang fic though - even if it turns out to be 40k, you're only 5000 words away from that! ;)

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*

Yikes! Nothing like swelling up sometimes for no apparent reason! *hugs* I hope you're tons better today.

Eeeek, I'm so sorry to hear about your Anaphylaxis, petal, I hope you're feeling a lot better now.

As to the Big Bang, *\o/*

Fear it'll be 40kk?? Nuh-uh. Wrong word, mate. I'm over here *wishing* it'll be 40k..*g*

I hope you are all back to normal now. Yikes.

I'm sorry you weren't able to enjoy your evening plans, but thank you for posting about this - a co-worker of mine has been experiencing similar symptoms for several months now. Her allergist hasn't been able to give her any answers either, but it's good to have something ("idiopathic angio-edema") to google!

That can be scary. Glad it wasn't any worse than that.

Good luck on the writing front.
