DAY TWENTY

Last night was a success! I drank G&Ts all night and didn’t feel itchy at all. At one point my arms got a little hot but after 3 minutes of rolled up sleeves they felt normal again.
For the first time in months, the end of the night was dictated by the pain in my feet, not the pain in my skin. And for the first time in months, I was able to dance my arse off without the twisting feeling like an all-over Chinese burn.
Goddamnit, I’ve missed the dancing.
There was even a random gay man who felt the need to push his way back through the crowd just to tell me he thinks I’m beautiful. I felt like my old, confident self again!
I was fine in the morning, but by the afternoon I was pretty itchy on my arms and stomach, right on the waistline of my jeans (yes, I know you’re only supposed to wear 100% cotton but I refuse to go sight-seeing in my pyjamas). The bumps on my arms have spread and they’re reeeeeally irritating because they catch everything. I haven’t got these anywhere except my arms, although I’ve noticed a few stye-like bumps around one side of my face.

Looks a bit gross, eh?
I’ve been really tired all day due to going out until 4am, so this has inevitably made the itch worse.
I’ve opted for an early night because I’m getting really frustrated at trying to resist the itch so figure it’s easier mentally if I just zonk out into unconsciousness.
