Yeah, so I was on a 10-miler that ended up being more like six, and definitely one of the most uncomfortable ones I've ever had barring those involving attain some sort of injury. Firstly, I had an upset stomach because this silly hobbit ate a piece of fruit before the run, which means high dose of fiber galore, which means stomach wants to die. Then when I'm returning early due to a stomach in a state of rebellion, I suddenly start feeling itchy. Everywhere. Then I start having the weirdest sensation in my face ever... it was as though my skin were constricting very tightly and as though all moisture disappeared. I felt lik needles were endeavoring to stab out my eyes.

By the time I'm back i my room, I look in the mirror... and my whole body is coverd in a red rash and everything's swollen. I have the lips of a puffer fish, and my face looked as though I'd aged 40 years... lots and lots of creases between my yes, on my forehead, and a triple bag under my eyes.

My friendGrace was coming over for a group project. Grace took one look at me, saw how not-well I looked, and exclaimed "Oh my God, Cher, are you ok?!" I told her what happened. She nearly ended up taking me to the ER, butI said everything had to go through the training rom, so we went to the sports complex in case the ATR was open- it wasn't. But- we lost track of each other. By the time I found her, my itching mercifully abated, and the swelling had gone down a bit , so I decided not to go.. I cannot afford any sort of co-pay! I'm more broke than a glass bottle thrown out a third-story window onto cement.

When my friends came for D&D my face was srtill rather deformed though nearly back to normal. Sharon asked if I was okay befcause I looked puffy and Dan said "Oh, I knew you looked... different!"

Right now, it basically looks like I did not sleep. No second and third lines, just the one.

Needless to say, that was the strangest set of symptoms I ever had... definitely might see infirmary tomorrow,
