Officially diagnosed

I was at the doctor this morning.  Friday evening I had noticed some swollen lymph nodes (which have since kind of come and gone) and Sunday morning I awoke with a rash.  I was pretty sure this was all related to overexposure from the sun, and for years I've pretty much known I was allergic to the sun, although had never officially been diagnosed.  Until today that is.  The rash wasn't getting any better, and although I knew if it was the sun that was probably because thanks to baseball schedules I wasn't get a break from sun exposure, so I decided to have the doc check it out.  I've now had a cortisone shot and he says I should be better by early next week.  No games tonight or tomorrow should also help that, and he officially told me I was allergic to the sun and had experienced, "toxic exposure".  The good news is that the rash doesn't itch, but I'll be glad when it goes away!
