Armpits of Fire


i think i'm allergic to secret deodorant. when i woke up this morning, both my armpits appeared to have a little rash goin on. by the time i got home tonight, they are both rashy, bumpy, swollen, flaming red, and burn like hellfire. i've put cortisone10 on them, so hopefully that'll do it. what's weird is i've been using the deodorant for about a week or so now, and this came on literally overnight.

i thought for a minute that it could be stress related, since i'm practically oozing stress right now, but it seems like an odd place to manifest, no?

show #1 is essentially done. any more notes from here on out can hopefully be accomplished via email.. this week alone i drove into chicago 5 times. i'm so tired of the kennedy. it's an interesting show, and i will post reviews as i find them... it opens on tuesday night and marks my professional chicago debut. it's a new company and the space is interesting.

now i can move on to show #2 altogether.. it's coming along.

i'm taking my inflamed armpits to bed.

it does sound like a contact dermatitis (look at me! i'm fancy!) but then again, Denise's hair started dropping out from stress, remember?

but then, this isn't the most stress you've ever been under, right? it's prob the deodorant. which is weird, because i'm a long-time Secret fan.

yeah, there's been more stress than this. also, i switched to degree a couple of years ago and before that, it was secret all through high school and college... so i just don't get it. all i know is i feel really gross with this solarcaine gel in my armpits. but at least they itch less.
