Day 1

First entry! Ugh. Alright, so my mum has been pestering me about starting a food log to help determine what I'm suddenly allergic to. It's just tedious to have to record everything you eat onto a piece of paper so I kept putting it off. I guess the nightly pain I'm afflicted with finally got to me after a month and a half of enduring its crap. It was in full force last night. My legs were covered in hives. The index finger on my right hand was swollen, resembling a grape (one of those large ones you have to bite in half to get the seeds out). My left arm was practically useless which made texting on my blackberry complicated. I was really tweaked about that =/. Oh, and my right cheek kinda looked like the girl who woke up with 56 stars tattooed on her face.

Hmm, I guess I got over the whole feeling sorry for myself thing and decided I needed to take action. It's messing up my ability to text! I'm hoping this blog will help me stick with the food log. I'll explain and post pics as time goes by.

...There's also a strange hard lump on the left side of my neck about 3 inches above my collarbone that strangely appeared 3 weeks ago. Related to the allergies or just some kind of infection or a cyst or ...something more serious?

Food & Body Log Time:

11:11 AM - Bowl of Cinna-Graham Honey Comb cereal w/ 1% skim milk.
- Everything is magically gone, unsurprisingly.
- Arms were a bit itchy this morning, as always. Probably just an after effect of the night before.

12:09 AM - Made myself a cup of coffee sweetened with 3 tablets of Splenda and a plop of regular soy milk.

12:14 AM - Polly-O cheesestick (which was mildly satisfying).

2:30 PM - No sign of those evil hives.
- Still itching.

2:38 PM - Couldn't stop itching so I tried to take a HYDROXYZINE tablet my doctor prescribed but failed and spit it up instead.
- Put hydrocortisone cream on itchy areas (upper arms, lower back).

3:30 PM - Wrist and ankle a little itchy.

4:46 PM - More coffee but this time 2 splenda tablets and a plop of soy milk.

5:30 PM - First sign of hives on upper outer left thigh and lower part of inner right thigh.
- Upper arms red and still itchy.

6:46 PM - Hives now on both legs on my inner calves. Slight cramp-like feeling in both bottom legs.

7:30 PM - Butterscotch custard pudding thingy.

8:47 PM - I went downstairs around 8 and got up to greet my mum. Could barely walk up the stairs.
- Pain has progressed to my ankles and rendered me practically immobile for the rest of the night.
- Oh joy!

9:00 PM - At least my mother brought home pizza. :)

9:54 PM - Made it downstairs in 5 minutes.
- Mother and I noticed a huge swelling lump on the upper part of my foot.
- Looks like this is how the horrid night ends.
- Maybe I'll get some sleep :). Maybe.

Miscellaneous Stuff Time:

I've been stuck in the house the entire week taking care of my two little sisters.

I can't eat any of the stuff I used to enjoy eating, I mean I had one fracking caramel macchiato on Sunday night and it's like I'm convulsing on the floor in Barnes and Noble.

Nothing good ever comes on TV when you actually have the time to watch it and that pisses me off.

Monkeyfuck: Lighting a cigarette from an already lit bud. According to Urban Dictionary. Searched it because of an episode from "United States of Tara".

Worst. Vacation. Ever.
