Went to Penningtons today to try on pants - sz 28 goes around me but looks like hell. Same with a couple of 3x/4x dresses. What a horrible feeling to not be able to buy anything in a plus size store.

I can barely walk 20 feet without getting winded.

Pee my pants from coughing daily.

Almost impossible to clean myself in bathroom, roll over in bed, lift my leg to get out of a car.

Have a feeling now that this hives IS related to my obesity -- metabolic syndrome is what caused the peripheral neuropathy in my feet. My feet are pretty well in constant pain and I don't even stand on them. Add on the hives which have me scratching on and off all day and all night.

I'm worried now about what happens after the allergy tests and they find nothing. I will be asking if they don't bring it up about metabolic syndrome and the chance that it is Ozempic.

I hate feeling this way but I'm starting to spin with the overwhelmingness of this all. Now that Dad is getting better the focus is back on me in my own mind, making it probably worse.

Just needed to vent gals. Not looking forward to having a party here today at all.
