Saw the doctor, was given drugs. She thinks that it is very likely I reacted and still react to the anti-inflamatory thingy. The effects, much to my surprise, can last a month. I'm supposed to suck claritin for a bit, but should be fine from now on. Enough with the insane health weirdness!

You know I can blame hte whole thing on law school. The chain goes like this:
1) Law school causes stress
2) Stress causes the muscles in my neck to stay tense for days
3) The tense neck got so bad it was injured sitting still in a chair (snap)
4) The injury caused nerve damage, which I'm stuck with for some time (I miss my boob)
5) The treatment for that injury was with a drug that caused an allergic reaction
6) Those allergic reactions continue to this day, and have cost me comfort, happiness, and time from work - effects of which I will feel for weeks.

That's right - I'm suing law school for the whole bundle!

PS I'm fucking kidding

I have developed a new racial prejudice - I like and trust black doctors (black from the US, not black from africa with dog-shit breath).

Aha! So it WAS the meds! I'm glad they have figured that one out! Hopefully, everything will normal out for you soon!

Funny that an anti-inflammatory caused you to swell up :)

Be glad you only had the "Common" side effects

The Naprosyn drug can increase water retention, it contains a significant amount of sodium.... so it's kinda like you've been PMSing!

More common side effects may include:
Abdominal pain, bruising, constipation, difficult or labored breathing, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, heartburn, itching, nausea, ringing in ears, skin eruptions, swelling due to fluid retention

Since I don't eat red meat as a rule, the concept of eating something and not shitting it out for a month is foreign to me...

ew! No really - it still makes no sense to me, only tattoos last that long. Ick.
