It's not often I can't get something to pop. I just keep wriggling around until it does. lol. But I do know the feeling.

I just recently switched to a new family doctor so I haven't really mentioned much. My main concern at the moment is why my hands swell up, feel like they're burning, get tingly, and turn red when i touch certain things.

I asked my previous doctor to get me allergy tests.. I got ignored.

My first meeting with new doc? I get a call that same day from an allergy doctor place to set up an appointment. new doc works fast!

I need to write down all my concerns that i've asked about over the years. So I remember to ask the new doctor about them.

Sounds like your new doc is a lot more helpful! XD;; and doing actual doctoring lol.

So far so good! Yea! >w<


I was told by the boss taxi man last week that I need to be outside waiting for the taxi.. so I sat outside after my appointment for over an hour waiting for the taxi.. my butt... is... COLD! D:<

nothing else is cold.. just my butt.. because the pavement is cold and just sapped my butt's body heat right out of it. >A<

I just got home and turned the heat on, on mom's massage heat chair. o3o

Gosh waiting outside in the cold? 8u what if it was snowing? I heard there was a pretty bad snow squall in the Niagara region and over into America.

That sounds like Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Which is a very common comorbidity with EDS.

Does the taxi not give you notice on when they're coming? That's awful. They can't expect you to sit outside in the freezing cold for an hour. Even a healthy person would get sick like that.

yeahh my mom would always say that to us. and then point to my grandmother's red arthritic knuckles. XD;; and we believed her lol.

I'm sure its an allergic reaction cause it only happens when I touch certain stuff like grass, this dirt stuff that my aloe had been in, and on occasion my carpet.. and dogs that just been outside.


It's an older taxi company so there's no app for them. And the boss man.. he's one of those people where.. if he's in a good mood, you think the world is gonna end.. because its RARE for him to be in a good mood. =/

I offered to give my cell number BECAUSE winter is coming up.. and they some times have me waiting for HOURS... I'm not waiting outside for hours. >:x I was about to go back inside when my taxi showed up.. oxo

Seems like your taxi service isn’t very reliable…xD;; sounds like getting an ubar might be more reliable than that. At least you won’t have to wait HOURS for a car. 8u
