Well...
Another day, another worry, another issue. Seems to be a pattern in my life.
I woke up today with severe anxiety... or at least what I picture severe anxiety to be. I'm sure it was nothing compared to those who actually GET severe anxiety attacks. But, I was having a lot of trouble breathing and my thoughts were racing and I felt like I was about to step right into a bad situation.

I guess I'm doing pretty well right now. A little stressed, but that'll clear itself up eventually.
College is just around the corner and I STILL need to figure out what I need to be buying. Plus, my roommate is still at camp. I've only been able to contact her via mail, which makes any kind of planning very difficult. She should be home soon, at least I hope so.

Idiopathic Anaphylaxis and Me?
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
Hey everyone!
Well, I've officially been diagnosed with something called Idiopathic Anaphylaxis. For those of you who don't want to look this up, it's a severe allergic reaction to something that is still unknown.
I've been tested for a few things because the allergist thought that my reactions earlier this year were related to food (wheat, oats, cinnamon) but each test came out ... -

Chicken Pox Information
Chickenpox, also spelled chicken pox, is the common name for Varicella simplex, classically one of the childhood infectious diseases caught and survived by most children.
Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), also known as human herpes virus 3 (HHV-3), one of the eight herpes viruses known to affect humans. It starts with conjunctival and catarrhal symptoms, moderate fever and then characteristic spots appearing in two or three waves, mainly on the body and head rather than the hands and becoming itchy raw pox (pocks), small open sores which heal mostly without scarring.
Chickenpox has a two-week incubation period and is highly contagious by air transmission two days before symptoms appear. Therefore, chickenpox spreads quickly through schools and other places of close contact. Once someone has been infected with the disease, they usually develop protective immunity for life. It is fairly rare to get the chickenpox multiple times, but it is possible for people with irregular immune systems. As the disease is more severe if contracted by an adult, parents have been known to ensure their children become infected before adulthood.
