Diseased...

Well, damn. This past weekend, I looked down while I was getting dressed for my nephew's baptism and noticed that I had some bug bite looking things on my legs. I thought they looked gross, but I only brought a dress and we were in the middle of nowhere, so I had no choice.

Then, they started to swell and bruise. It was super painful. I didn't know what to do. So, I decided to head to the doctor.

Right when I got there, I pulled up my pant leg for the doc and he said, oh, you have erythema nodosum. Like I knew what that meant.

Turns out my body is turning on itself. It's an auto-immune disease that I somehow got and now I have to change a lot of my lifestyle to get them to go away. I have about six "nodules" on my legs and they look terrible. It seriously looks like I ran into something and it swelled up. This is mainly upsetting because I can't wear shorts or skirts or dresses, which severely closed off my wardrobe. And, it's damn hot outside, so that stinks.

Hopefully, this is just a one time outbreak and I won't have any more problems with it. But, with the way my life goes, it doesn't seem likely.

So, wish me luck in my diseased looking leg endeavor.



On the good side, I got a VIP pass to Perez Hilton's One Night in Austin event Saturday night. I get to cover it for the web! I'm so pumped. I have to do shopping and make sure I don't look a fright. Perez will never forgive me if I'm out of style!

So, wish me luck on that!
