Insane x2

We’ve all had dogs who like a good scratching.  And we’ve all found that one spot, usually right on the ribs, where when you scratch, the dog enters a comotose state and it’s rear leg begins to twitch uncontrollably.  Did you ever wonder how they must feel when that goes on?  In the last couple of weeks, I have found out for myself.

Somehow I have developed some allergy to something.  I am ithcy all over, and there are these certain spots on my legs that, when scratched, send my whole nervous system into this dog-like transe.  I’ve even found myself twitching my foot a few times.

The allergist has put me on Prednisone and I have a allergy test scheduled for next week.  But in the mean time, I’m one itchy mess, especially at night.  The allergist told me that some people go crazy from the itching.  And he also told me that some people go crazy from taking Prednisone.  While I’m lying in bed, thinking about how much I itch, I also wonder if I’m about to go crazy.  It is a sadistic feedback loop.  This is just a warning in case you hear that I have come to some bizarre end.  You’ll know exactly why.
