Took my medication & had my diphenhydramine shot, put Fucidin on the hives because some of them ruptured & bled out... tomorrow my doctor will give me low dose steroids w/ my anti allergy medication. In this instance- it is really in God’s hands to HEAL me enough- but i need to do my part & totally REST this weekend. 5 AM here, adjusting to the 15 hour time difference. Waiting for my BP to stabilize before i sleep. Because sya yung unang nakapansin, even @rbchanco nag rashes na rin all over sa tension... my friends @iamgarygarcia & Veronica who is a registered nurse rushed over... naawa ako to wake up my doctor since for sure later he’ll be the 1 super monitoring...
