I HAVE MOSQUITO BITES ON MY FEET SOMEONE SEDATE ME

I’m so itchy I barely slept

Science Tumblr help:

When I drink alcohol out at night, I end up having a histamine response and get allergies (runny nose, watery eyes, etc). That's not supposed to happen. But, like, that's what I get instead of a hangover.

Any takers? My chem professor friend can't figure it out.

पराग कुछ लोगों में गंभीर एलर्जी प्रतिक्रिया क्यों उत्पन्न करता है? मैरीलैंड के डॉक्टर बताते हैं

परागकण फूल वाले पौधों द्वारा उत्पादित महीन चूर्ण पदार्थ होते हैं जिनमें नर युग्मक होते हैं और इसका उपयोग यौन प्रजनन में होता है। हालाँकि यह पूरी तरह से प्राकृतिक पदार्थ है जो सैद्धांतिक रूप से मनुष्यों के लिए हानिकारक नहीं है, कुछ लोगों को इससे गंभीर एलर्जी होती है। पौधों के परागकण कुछ व्यक्तियों में गंभीर एलर्जी के लक्षण उत्पन्न कर सकते हैं। (पेक्सेल) यह भी पढ़ें | क्या आप जानते हैं कि बच्चों…

Toothache

So this week I had 3 old filings removed (I used to eat sweets!) and replaced. The dentist and I talked about whether I endured the pain (histamine response) or tried the local anaesthetic (probable bad reaction and histamine response). In the end he talked me into having the injection. I think he was worried I might move suddenly with the pain and swallow the drill or something! LOL

Any way i now have a swollen mouth and mouth pain big time.. OWOWOWOW!!!

I cannot take pain killers without knocking myself out for days and I have to look after my husband tomorrow as his support worker is away.

So I am sucking cloves! Yes they work! I am really surprised as i thought this was a fallacy.

I am also freezing my mouth with frozen water melon… delish!! and it is cooling the inflammation!!!! LOL

Inflammation

Some stuff from Wikipedia about Inflammation in the body which is actually part of our healing process but in autoimmune diseases the healing process seem to go wrong and the body attacks itself. Histamine plays a big part in the inflammation process apparently:

This is where my joint pain and swollen joints come from and this is why I work on my body to bring the inflammation down by eating low histamine food and raw food.

Disclaimer: I am not a medic what I write is just my understanding of all this stuff.  

Inflammation (Latin, inflammare, to set on fire) is part of the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. Inflammation is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli and to initiate the healing process. Inflammation is not a synonym for infection, even in cases where inflammation is caused by infection. Although infection is caused by a microorganism, inflammation is one of the responses of the organism to the pathogen.

Without inflammation, wounds and infections would never heal. Similarly, progressive destruction of the tissue would compromise the survival of the organism. However, chronic inflammation can also lead to a host of diseases, such as hay fever, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and even cancer (e.g., gallbladder carcinoma). It is for that reason that inflammation is normally closely regulated by the body.

Inflammation can be classified as either acute or chronic. Acute inflammation is the initial response of the body to harmful stimuli and is achieved by the increased movement of plasma and leukocytes (especially granulocytes ) from the blood into the injured tissues. A cascade of biochemical events propagates and matures the inflammatory response, involving the local vascular system, the immune system, and various cells within the injured tissue. Prolonged inflammation, known aschronic inflammation, leads to a progressive shift in the type of cells present at the site of inflammation and is characterized by simultaneous destruction and healing of the tissue from the inflammatory process.
