alright crispy, where's my five bucks?

Lol just kidding...sort of.

I don't have a fungal infection of any sort, just your average every day case of Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis.  My ANA [fans of the show "House" will know what that means] came back negative, and I don't have strep.  Also no bacterial infection. 

So it's not autoimmune, and it wasn't triggered by an infection of any kind.

We did manage to infuse a little more drama into the situation.  My mother asked the hematologist about Goodpasture's Syndrome: http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/goodpasture/

My third cousin died as a result of a failed kidney transplant due to GPS, so she wanted the blood test done for it, even though my ANA came back negative.  We'll know the results from that one in about a week.

In the meantime, I was getting better.  However, after all the running around I did this morning I managed to break out in a bunch of new 'spots' on my legs, arms, and stomach.  It is horribly frustrating.

On my way to see the doc, I got behind a truck with a "I served so you can B***h' license plate tacked to the back and hanging from the tow thingy [I don't know what it's called....'nob' maybe? lol] was a dirty, wet, and generally disgusting looking stuffed Elmo.  What?  lol

I needed to go buy conditioner after I got done with the doc, so I went to Target since it's the first store I hit after I go to the docs.

Long story short, I came back out and some inconsiderate so and so had parked so close to my car that I couldn't get in.  I think this is what set off the new spots, because I had to climb through to the driver's side from the passenger's side.  I know there was enough room left on my part because when I got out to go into the store there was a van parked there, and when I came back out there was a van parked there....only it was a different one.

Twiggy could not have gotten in this car, okay?  I tried my best to enter my car the traditional way, but that dodge caravan was just not gonna budge.

I took a picture of the license plate, but unfortunately I didn't hit 'save' cause there was someone waiting for my space. 

Anyway, if you own a silver Caravan with slight damage to the right tail light [I didn't do it, it was already there I swear] and you were at super target between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. I hope you understand that you made a nearly psychotic sick person crawl through her car because you cannot park.  Please be more considerate of others in the future.

Yes, my day has been complete you-know-what and now I have to stay in bed for another week.

I asked the doc what caused my LCV and she said 'we may never know.'  WHAT?!  Didn't I just pay you to find this out?!  Needless to say, I am not happy right now.  The dermatologist gave me a scrip for Clobetasol Propionate cream which I am to apply twice to three times daily to make the spots go away faster...but I am begining to have doubts about the ability of these docs.

I hope it goes away, but I'm not holding my breath.

Happy Monday, Y'all
