I had a flu-like illness last week. Since then, I've had an irresistible urge to scratch my entire body, but especially the joints (knees, ankles, hips, wrists, and elbows). This reminded me of a previous illness in April 2012 that was followed by itching so bad I trimmed off all of my body hair to facilitate lotioning.
I'll just wait here while you ponder that image a little longer.
Anyway, I woke up this morning and thought, "It's almost like I'm allergic to my own immune system, but I'm not sure that's even possible."
Then, later today I was running on a treadmill watching a recorded episode of Jeopardy!, when Alex read a clue about "an allergic reaction to your own immune system causing hives." The answer was the name for the type of specialist I'm supposed to see, but between the treadmill noise and me yelling out, "That's what I have!", I didn't hear what the contestant said.
