it's not always easy. that is why we invented puppies and anxiety medication. if you get sad and don't blog then i'll be sad and will have to get a puppy and i can't afford one right now.

Sometimes mosquito poison can really affect people in all kinds of ways. I am sure you'll feel better once the swelling goes down:)

You might want to try St. John's Wort.. you can get it at GNC and not only does it work for depression, it acts as a great balm for insect bites. Used it myself on more than one occasion..

As most of us get tired of reading DailyKos and biatching about Katrina, we'll keep you in our wamesr thoughts..

Just think of all of us faceless InterWeb hooligans taking time out to pause, reflect and toss positive waves in your direction..

Thats no mosquito bite. You may have chagas. Better check that out, you dont want to be the host monkey.

you need to get a topical antihistamine...like benadryl lotion or even cortisone cream. this is your immunes systems histamine reaction (the stuff that gives you allergies). as long as your throat doesn't itch and your tongue doesn't feel swollen you should be fine in 72 hours. oral benadryl would really help too but you'll feel sleepy.

p.s. if these bumps get hot or start to have red streaks coming from them or you develop a fever get medical treatment right away

Well, seeing that she's still blogging, we can safely assume she got better :)
