This thread helps me express what I deal with as an individual with multiple chronic illnesses. Friday, May 21st 2021, I received my second two monthly Xolair injections. Xolair injections are used to treat Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (chronic hives). Which are *not the same as hives from allergic reactions.

I have my fingers crossed [emoji1693] that these monthly injections will help reduce my flare ups. So far I have not experienced the same symptoms as I did last month [April] after my first monthly injection. I’m glad. It’s supposed to rain the whole week. I’m working hard at taking my vitamins and supplements each day. It rained all last week [emoji2362].

I picked up my asthma inhaler. I’m on a new medication to prevent stomach ulcers from returning. My immunologist recommended increasing my selenium supplement which is used to help with my Hashimoto.

I started having muscle spasms again in my hands. I’ve been soaking and using bath [emoji369] bombs.

I’ve been using a lot of selfcare, resting and picking back up on hobbies to keep my depression away.
