Day 8 - Worm Wrestling & Side Effects

It was my 27 birthday this week and in great situational irony I participated in my first 'Worm Wrestling' over the weekend at a party out in Northern California. Basically two people get into mummy sleeping bags, bow and then try to shimmy each other off a mattress. It's hilarious.

I'm hoping to get that fabled "bump" but so far feel that a lot of my allergy/asthmas and psorasis symptoms are just in overdrive this past week.

After the first three days the itching on my arm stopped. I noticed a shortness of breath the first couple days that weren't pronounced but I usually have asthmas only when exercising vigorously.

One week later and I feel like I'm more agitated overall. It could (likely) be due to the Spring pollen blooms that are happening around Northern California now and my seasonal allergies going haywire which happens this time of year. However, I've also experienced more frequent heart burn which I only rarely got before and some lower stomach cramps (not too severe). Another frustrating occurrence is my right eyelid has swelled up. I get psorasis on my eyelids and a few months ago it swelled up like this as well. I'm not sure the cause of the swelling unfortunately and if it doesn't go away in the next few days will go to a specialist.
