Molly is a great song! So it's also true?

Going to the allergist in the morning for the same thing. I've doubled up on Allergra and Zantac every morning and night. When I break out, I lay down, calm my breathing, and try to stay cool. Everywhere I scratch or clothing rubs me, I break out.

I've had a few patches in my life but it got really bad a few months ago. I took a shower and my whole body broke out. My voice started getting raspy so I went to the ER. They gave me IV meds and I passed out. Hooked me to oxygen and I woke up. Now I have an Epipen.

The double meds at night and morning help. I've been doing better. They gave me Prednisone but that lowers your immune system over time. I'm pretty sure anxiety and lack of sleep play a huge part in the breakouts. They did an allergy test and I reacted to everything. But then they found out that the needle picks actually caused the reactions.

I wish you the best and if you're interested, I would love to communicate after the dr tomorrow and update you with my situation.

A few years ago I was closely involved with changing the CDV laws in SC. I worked with a local politician Larry Martin who introduced it. Nikki Haley eventually signed it into law.

SC was closely behind LA as the deadliest state in CDV related deaths. We pretty much copied their blueprint from what changes they made to make the punishments more severe. Adding enhancements such as children being present, prohibiting the victim from reporting it and having a weapon present.

One of the more controversial points was taking away the rights of firearms temporarily based on repeat offenses and degree of the charge. In the deep South that was a huge hurdle even for me bc I'm a gun owner and advocate. But it wasn't permanent, just a cooling off period. And after hearing victim stories and listening to law enforcement statements, it was very clear that most CDV cases were repeat offenses and they are also the most dangerous calls for an officer to respond to. Taking a gun out of the situation helped keep a violent situation from becolming deadly.

Didn't mean to get so long winded. Just wanted to share that information.

Depends. You can put up to $9,999 on a car without them batting an eye. $10k is the magic number. You never want to hit it when putting cash on anything.

Thank you! And I'll message you. Maybe we can swap notes and speed up both of our recovery. My situation doesn't seem as bad. I went about 3 weeks where I couldn't leave my house. But now I have it mostly under control.
