Friday Funnies

Custom shirts are an awesome thing.

Kenn has been suffering from chronic idiopathic urticaria (chronic hives of unknown origin) for three years now. The poor guy takes a LOT of medication to keep the hives under control. We both love his allergist; she is awesome. Kenn went in for a checkup earlier this week, and part of the conversation went like this:

Dr. B: You are hands-down my most refractive patient. (Refractive meaning he doesn’t respond to traditional treatments.)

Me (turning to Kenn): I’ll get you a shirt.

Kenn: Most refractive urticaria?

Me: Yep.

Dr. B: It needs to have a trophy on it, too.

Me: Done.

As soon as we got home, I researched custom printing sites, selected uberprints.com, designed, and ordered the shirt shown.

I was planning to wait and give it to him at Christmas, but I couldn’t wait that long; I gave it to him as soon as it arrived. (It actually shipped the day I ordered it. Mind. Blown.)

  3. I have a friend with a hives issue. She will be perfectly fine and suddenly starts feeling hives starting … she’ll feel it on her leg for example, look down and hives are creeping up her leg. She too has been tested – they cannot find the reason.

      • Yes, Carol has been to many doctors over the years and probably a rheumatologist as well, but no one offers any insight. There is no rhyme or reason to it – it’s not from being out in the garden and not from any allergies in the house. When it is sporadic like that you end up resigned to just deal with it and it shouldn’t be that way. She self-medicates and will say “I took a couple of swigs of Children’s Benadryl to see if it will help.”
