So, anyway, turned out I was having a fairly serious allergic reaction to the birth control I was prescribed two weeks ago. The pills themselves were a fucking lifesaver, and I thought most side affects were worth being almost unable to leave the house for two weeks, but no, turns out that a reaction like this was not a fair trade off, really. They gave me a bunch of steroids, a bunch of antihistamines, and an epinephrine pen just in case the swelling goes up again and tries to suffocate me, since it was attacking my neck and face pretty intently before the medication kicked in. I think the worst is over now, though I've still got lots of small raised red patches left and a rather intense feeling of unwell.

I have to go back to the doctor next week.

There's a possibility the steroids will make me absolutely insane and crap, man, I'm just annoyed at everything.

I HOPE YOU ARE ASLEEP NOW.

I WAS. I then slept for most of the day. The drug combination I'm on keeps me extremely physically exhausted but makes my brain sort of amped up, so it's leading to bizarre and extremely inconvenient sleep patterns, and I'm basically not moving at all. I WONDER WHEN I SHALL FALL ASLEEP TONIGHT.
