milkis

I've got the Hives! In my case, apparently due to allergy+stress. I'm not sure that I'm stressed, but maybe my mind is lying to me. As for the allergy, I never knew I had one, at least not to MILKIS. You know, the korean soft drink that eerily tastes like Mitsuya Cider with a punch of Yakult. If you don't know what I'm talking, those drinks are pictured below:

I first thought my reaction was to the medicine I am taking, but I had been taking that for a week now. That's when I knew the MILKIS was the culprit. It looks delicious - and indeed it was - but it has caused me great pain (and itching). I can no longer drink this savoury beverage because it includes milk. I'm lactose intolerant, so I've been drinking lactose-free alternatives for my dairy needs, but I assume that because of my avoidance, consuming milk powder this time caused a more severe response. So MILKIS is officially out. So now I'm taking a total of six different prescribed medications.
