Well, Can I join the waterfall club? I swear I keep tissues on hand, next to the computer. It hurts me that Alena hurts, and you hurt and everyone hurts and in the same breath so thankful no one is alone in this. Much Love,

To Ging re test/AND getting hysterical

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.
