Hives, platelets, and creating...

Last night I noticed my tummy itched a bit... however, I was 2/3s away from sleep and couldn't be bothered with the 'why' of the situation. Upon arising, I realized the insides of my wrists itched and were red/bumpy.... Hives. Joy. And as the day has progressed, so have the hives. I don't want to take Benadryl... but if this doesn't clear up by tonight.. I might give in. So far I've tried Rhus Tox, Histamine, a conglomeration of hpathy remedies specifically for Hives, (I walked into the natural foods store and the owner asked what I was looking for. Before I could even finish telling him about my hives he handed me a a box that said "Hives" on it... Apis Mell. was in it..which was what I was looking for), and I made a 'crude' antidote to what I think caused the reaction (strawberries.... I could be wrong about that though). At any rate.. so far NONE have worked.... and I'm not sure how long it will take.. and I am DYING here... just covered in red, itchy welts (as per normal when I get hives)... I mean head to toe here. Hands (both sides), arms, chest, shoulders, stomach, butt, legs, feet, back, neck, face. Good.... grief.
I want to call my hpathy practitioner... but I think she's upset with me, and of course I hate even the idea of someone being upset with me. Yes.. I have issues. But I'm not positive about that... I saw another doctor (I have a SLEW of them now) who also does hpathy (but a different approach). I think both are great, and both are helping! I'm just trying to get my life back. I didn't think it would seem like I didn't trust her anymore or something.. I just wanted this guys take, which was totally different and just as helpful. *sigh* Well what's done is done.
I itch SO bad.. it's outrageous... and I look slightly monsterish with this welts. Yikes.

Got a CBC yesterday. Platelets are 32! WHOOOO! Haven't seen a '3' in the tens place in QUITE a while. I'm trying not to get too excited..cause it's just too soon to tell if anything is working, but man I can dream can't I?? I'll get them checked in another month to see how the progress really is.

After another amazing session with my CSTherapist on Tuesday, I came home and rocked the creativeity. I finally made a necklace that I've been wanting to make for quite some time now (it's for a friend). She has AMAZING eyes and the stone 'Tigers Eye' really matches that... so this is what a made:

I'm pretty sure she doesn't know (or read) this blog.. so it's safe to put up the pic (cause it's a surprise).
I took this with my phone just to give the idea.. I'll take a real one later.
