My hands are so itchy today. My right hand has seen some puffiness. I decided I would hold off on calling Dr. Cowden until the other person involved in this ends up with (yet another) non-diagnosis partially because it would add to my case and partially because Dr. Cowden doesn’t accept my current insurance. The other patient has decided that, despite their problem going on for weeks, that they’re just going to change body wash and hope the problem goes away. As a person who has dealt with soap sensitivity my entire life I can say that if that were the problem, there would be issues more than just at the shins. I’m not sure what I want to do at this point. I’m going to discuss it with my mom, but there are a couple options… just find a specialist back in IL and possibly have to plan another trip back to Iowa if it is. Or see if I can find someone in Iowa who takes my insurance and can see me so I can then shuffle on over to Dr. Cowden.

In the meantime my body is trying to keep this fever at bay and partially succeeding. It’s still lowgrade but slightly higher than my “normal fever”.

I hate going through all of this again.
