Rash seems to be going away or is masked by meds?

The full body armor of hives is gone and no more allergic reaction at this time. I did get a slight fever yesterday but it went with the rash. The only thing I can think of is we ate some fish that could have been tainted with something? Or who knows what. I looked like a huge red dot and itched like crazy. I slept all day yesterday or watched TV and rested.

I can not complain because so many have the flu. Two people have said they can not make the lupus program tonight, including the co-facilitator. Sad too because it is our last meeting and nurse Ogden is doing a session on de-stressing over holiday season. I was hoping everyone could attend. I have some snacks to take and one of the patients mom's is bringing beverages. I have ordered some sweet and savory snacks from "Stars Cafe"(if you have not been do try it..in west gate center Jackson rd.). It is a local Middle Eastern restaurant down the street that makes the best meat and spinach pies and pastry. So everyone will be rewarded for coming out in the damp cold and driving so far for this course and all the past 5 courses thus far. Dale and I were going to cook food but with my day at hospital yesterday and her with flu we had to think on our feet. Back up plans and being prepared has always been good for me. I always have a back up plan.

By the way......Thank You Angel who sent the surprise check. You have assisted me in perusing my passion for being of service and helping others while doing good for myself. Thank you so much whoever you are. Angels come in all packages !!!!
