A saga

Years ago my eyes were red, watery, and itched. I thought is was my contacts.

For the past few years my face would get this little red raised area that itched near my nose and mouth. I thought I had some acne problem.

Since my pregnancy with Brennan my legs have itched--terribly. I thought it had something to do with pregnancy.

So, I spent quite a bit of money (I will not divulge the amount...) and got eye surgery so I wouldn't have to wear contacts. I got some cream for my face. I have been using Dove soap forever thinking I had sensitive skin (which I do). And I use special mosturizer for my legs.

I finally went to a Dermatologist. I have ALLERGIES! What? Allergies? I NEVER would have thought of having allergies. Never. But, it makes sense. So, the doctor told me to take Zyrtec. I took it for a week and it worked for a bit. But then my legs started itching again... Argh. I called the doctor, she said to up the amount of meds. So now I take two zyrtecs a day. So far, so good. I have a "hyper abundance of histamine" in my skin, so if I start itching my skin, it gets worse and worse. So, I must keep my nails away from my legs!

But this dang Zyrtec makes me... not necessarily sleepy, but tired. Unmotivated. Or at least I keep blaming my unmotivation on the Zyrtec...

Which is better---to have itchy legs or to be lazy?
