To Ging re test/AND getting hysterical

[Guest guest]

Hi Ging, I can't remember the name of the test where they spin the blood, but I'll get my medical records out and check today for you.

Re getting hysterical - I do that too, sometimes...............I've cried buckets over these dratted hives, and yes, I've got DPU too. The one tiny bright spot is that the DPU seems to have eased a little over the years (ten) but it's still there. I just don't get AS swollen when I kneel down or change from my sandals to shoes in the winter, etc.as I used to......so that's something positive, sort of! My worst times tend to be first thing in the morning when I'm really, really hivey and fed up - I'm up first, and sometimes I just sit and cry to myself. In the first dark months before I could get a doctor to agree that it wasn't flea bites, I cried OCEANS! I think I cried every darned day for five months. Then I got angry.................it makes me angry, too, doesn't it you? I really get angry sometimes about how it isn't "fair" etc. and how we all suffer and how we have to struggle to get any help, etc etc endlessly. I get angry with myself for getting upset. I get angry with myself for feeling sorry for myself. I don't cry much these day about my own urticaria, although I have to struggle not to when I'm talking about it to anyone, and sometimes the tears well up when I read our dear group's messages. I've said it a million times - it's a miserable, frustrating thing. Thank heavens we've got each other.

I'll write later about the test and you take care of yourself and your dear husband, Ging. Love Carol
