What do you look like RFN!?? - Page 118

Mrs. Dallas used to have outbreaks like these. (Not anymore, thanks to treatments, shots, etc.) But the first time she broke out while we were visiting my parents, my mom freaked out and was talking about getting her to the emergency room. We were both, eh, it's no big deal. It was uncomfortable, and gross-looking, but you get used to it after a while.

I do have an Epi Pen at home and at work to be safe. Luckily I've never had breathing issues but I know it could happen.

When my face swelled up a few years ago they gave me a shot of something to help reduce it. Could have been decadron, not sure.

Yes, it was most likely decadron. If you did not have that heart racing feeling after the shot, if you did, then it would have been the epi.

gtown · 07-14-2008, 07:04 PM

Yep, that must have been it, no heart racing.

Ok, a bit over 30 hours since the brutal, unprovoked attack and my leg is still pretty swelled. Now, as SG so Britishly put it, I'm itching like buggery. But it should all be better and less nasty looking from here on out, but one last pic to sicken those who can be sickened. I don't know how I sat through that many bites before finally noticing...

I now return to lurking mode

Blimey gtown.

Many thanks for the pics - grim as they are I love them.
It's exactly what my family do when faced with unexpected injury - take a picture and share it!

I am scratching on your behalf.
OUCH!

TheMercenary · 07-14-2008, 07:48 PM

Ants for sure. I have gotten those very same bites (without the swelling in the previous pics).

DucksNuts · 07-14-2008, 08:41 PM

Ohhhh, can I squeeze those for you gtown????

Glad to hear you are on the mend, and no need to go back to lurking.

Sundae, I like the colour and the scruffy look.

I certainly hope so. It's the first time I've decided to step out of my other comfortable, familiar online community and search for another one.

I am Bettina, by the way.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-14-2008, 11:00 PM

I'll bet you are.
