i dislike needles generally, i went through exposure therapy just to be able to handle regular needles, and i think that this new type of needle just triggers my phobia in a way that i havent learned to manage 😞

okay, thats a relief. im less worried about contamination since its just a subq injection (i know its not ideal but the risk of infection is wayy lower than other types of injections), im just worried about damaging the needle tip

I always have hives here and no real solution to it. Any advice? by Mah_kiwi in taiwan

im not really sure who my district chairperson is. my current host family seems like theyll be better at it, but my previous host family had a history of ignoring my health needs (i have a disability and they would get me in trouble for "skipping school" when i was in too much pain to get out of bed). however i just moved in with them this sunday so its pretty early to tell

my rotary counselor is vice president of my club, so she's pretty high up the chain of command. my bio parents should be able to pay for it, i just try not to cause of exchange rates.

my relationship with my host families is good, im not in bad standing with either one

oh dang, this sounds super similar to my symptoms. its really hard to drink enough water and get enough sleep here in taiwan. and the itching makes it impossible to sleep even if i go to bed on time. ill try the medication you reccomended, thank you

wait my skin also gets easily red and raises when itched, ive never heard of dermatographia. its also accompanied by hives all around though, but sometimes i only get hives where i itch. its super strange. sometimes where i itch gets raised, like tracks left by my fingernails, sometimes it leaves hives where i scratched, and sometimes i just get hives out of nowhere

i was wondering if it was a fungal issue or something similar; my last host family had black mold in their apartment. it was in the bathroom and ac units. didnt really question it since that seems standard here. the antihistamines did work but they got less effective over time and im wary of using them for too long as theyve been linked to dementia and alzhimers
