Wasp Bite

[phebamom]

Struggling along on Actemra, dealing with nocturnal hypertension, which may be caused by severe reflux. Day before yesterday hubby and I were hauling adjustable bed frame, (for reflux) into house. I was holding kitchen door open. I was stung by a wasp on my arm. Intense pain, swelling and redness will not go away. Triggered flare. Hurting in places that stopped hurting with Actemra. On my way to the walk in clinic to have arm looked at. Only someone else with this disease would or could understand the day to day frustration of living with this illness.

two hours at clinic. was told I am allergic to wasps. Having an exaggerated histamine response. Prescribed ointment and Benadryl, which I needed approval to take because it raises my BP.
