Allergic Rxn

So the last four or so Humira shots have produced a localized allergic reaction on my stomach. The injection site gets a very large red, itchy area around it and it feels hard under my skin. A couple doses of Benadryl clears it up in one day, so my doc isn't too worried about it. The shots are keeping me Crohn's-symptoms-free, so we don't take me off the med just yet. I continue to have issues with my ankles getting arthritis-like problems, but the pain and inflammation goes away and comes back later. It's weird. The eczema on my legs is trying to flare up again too. I think I even have some spots under my arms- no wonder they were itching...

Philp 4:4-7
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
