@hata - mine didn't used to bother me that bad but they've gotten worse as I've gotten older. and now my body has had hives for about a year.... I've developed skin allergies too over the years :(

I must take one allergy pill all year long because I bloat out and get hives :o... Hives comrades!

@Artsy - I've taken tests over the past year to try to determine what's causing it - I'm pretty sure it's something at work because it started shortly after I started my job last year....and we found out I'm allergic to two things they tested me for but I have avoided them for 5 months now and I still have hives >.<

I have taken like 3 or 4 different pills since this started and like 5 different creams lmao

Yeah, the doctor I've seen said in those case, it was unlikely I would learn what made my body freak out like that ^^'... I am allergic to maple and birch, though.

Gah. Nature. It's eeeevil...

I'm allergic to balsam of peru (which is a fragrance that can be labeled under like 50 different titles) and merthiolate/thimerasol....which is used in industrial cleaners and stuff.....

I got in contact with the people who do the cleansers for my job and they said they use neither of those things in their products D:

and I've changed everything at home that had any traces of that stuff in it - soap, shampoo, conditioner, tooth paste, make up, detergent, deodorant, etc...and they haven't stopped so it has to be at work D:


skin allergies are eviiiiillll D:

@hata - nature IS evil D:

Tell me about it... I once ended looking like I got beat up before I started with the pill because I stayed in the bath too long... it must be something to do with heat but what can I do?

Hey there c:
whats up with everyone WOOT EVENTS!

Evening guys!

@Artsy - I know heat can help the hives thrive even though it might not cause it. I've read that gloves especially make them worse - which sucks because in order to avoid what I'm coming in contact with at work - I wear gloves all the time and don't touch the cleansers with my hands anymore - but I think part of why they won't heal is because the gloves make them worse D:

Maria!!! :hug:
How have you been?

Hello FP <33 I've been well <3 How are youuuu?

I'm good :) Getting stuff together for my highschool graduation party

@FP - ommmgggg - when do you graduate?

I hope it's a fun fun fun party!

Fire:: I'm going to miss my little brother's graduation. He graduates in June and I can't visit home until July.

I'm technically already graduated. I finished my senior year early but had to wait until this past week to take the final test. Since I'm homeschooled and finished all my schoolwork I've got a regular diploma but still had to take a test for the state.

Thanks! I'm trying to figure out who all to invite

Kit: Aw that stinks

@FP - I think you told me you were homeschooled before and I just forgot XD

that's awesome though that you are now officially graduated :D

Do you plan to go to college?

I know! I'm soooo excited!!!

Yeah, I'm trying to decide which college to go to though. I think I want to get into something with fashion design. I've sketched a few wedding dresses and they actually look pretty good. I'm undecided what I want as a career though.

Spring Cleaning? ^^; [strike]what is that[strike]
actually, if I recall.... I think I unconciously cleaned parts of my house the other day

I'll be 22 this year and I'm still not fully sure what I want to do. I'm almost sure I want to be a teacher, but part of me still really wants to get into psychology.

@FP - that's pretty cool! You don't have to decide right away! You have your whole life ahead of you :)

@Kitami - I have my degree in music education - hope that I make a good teacher :) XD
