I have weird allergies. They aren’t periodic, they aren’t predictable, and when they hit, it feels like I have ants crawling inside my skin. Extremely unpleasant.
That stated, I do have a few predictable allergies. I’m allergic to insulin, for example. That’s predictable. I’m allergic to wasps and bees, apparently.
But this face-scratching allergy… it flares up every few months and makes either opening or closing my eyes (also known as “blinking”) really unpleasant.
Thankfully, I have a solid treatment… writing! By focusing on something completely outside my body, I can sort of forget that my eyes are trying to crawl out of my head.
It’s nice to have work that I love so much it allows me to feel less discomfort. Gotta get the novel finished… I’m thinking today might be the day! Fingers crossed!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
