P.I. The Hunt for Reasons - Early morning reaction

Woke feeling like something heavy and painful was sitting on my chest and before i was awake enough to understand why, it was constricting my throat. Chewed on a  liquid Benadryl gel cap and  tried to find the time, realized it was 6:45 and my water bottle ran out.

Hurried to the kitchen to refill my water bottle, started coughing as it filled. Bit a second Benadryl gel cap and wondered what that scent i could smell through my my partially bloked nasal passages was.

Heard my house guest say something like good morning as she headed out the door for work and a cloud of...something fainter than perfume wafted by as the coughing increased. Hurried back to my room pointing the fan out to blow any other scent away from my room.

Sat the head of the bed up. Soon started feeling better while I read Facebook to distract myself. So It went away with just two Benadryl, tho I did need to bite them.

No Epi needed, but I wonder if those other times this happened and I was blaming it on Carlie Marraro's shampoo maybe it was the house guest's? But then why doesn't it happen daily?

7:15 I shrug and decide to blog this... or should I post this friends only on my Facebook? No, better blog it so I can look back at it next time I have to play early morning reaction P.I. Besides, maybe reading this will help someone else with similar reactions somehow.

7:30 I finish editing and wonder if someone will mistake this matter of fact entry as "whining and complaining"? Shrug and sigh relieved that it no longer hurts to breathe and decide the benefit outweighs the risk of being misunderstood. Thank goodness for liquid dye free gel caps!
