Don't forget to take your vitamins!

Hello internet people, waddup! Sorry to start off with that disclaimer, but convention compels me to do so. (Fuck convention, right?)
     Over the last few weeks, the winter slowly faded away and summer is now setting in, here in Bangalore. And for some odd reason, my seasonal allergies have hit me a little harder this time. During the winter, I had rashes develop over my arms and legs. The rashes bled a lot, and I couldn't do much work...or anything for that matter. It was not easy even to sleep with all that pain. Vaseline did not help much at all. And a couple of allergy pills didn't help either. And now, the summer has started setting in, and my rashes have disappeared, only to be replaced by 100s of blisters on my palms. Yuck right? I know. I'm baffled as well. So, again, Vaseline doesn't help much here either. At best, it gives me 2 minutes of comfort. That's it. What's worse is that my hands are the most important parts of my body...well, second most important part I suppose (if you know what I'm sayin). I can't play the guitar, I can't play the drums, I can't play bass, I can't play the keyboard...basically I can't play anything. I can't type much on my computer, I can't click on the mouse buttons too easily. It's just terrible. How much longer do I have to put up with this bullshit.
     And then I thought, maybe I should try taking some multivitamin pills. I'm not a big fan of consuming pills and stuff, but I gotta tell ya, in this era, what with all the damned pollution and contamination and the disappearing of greenery everywhere...it's almost necessary to supplement our daily diets with something extra, such as multivitamins, proteins, calcium, iron and so on. So, as I was saying, I tried taking a couple of multivitamins, and the immediate reaction I experienced was...I felt sleepy. And I dozed off for a good 2 hours. But, I felt great after I woke up. And to top it off, my blisters had reduced considerably! Unbelievable! God, that's why I love science. The things we can do with science to make our lives better...Phew. Ok, enough of that now (laughs). So yes, the multivitamin pills can be very useful at times. If you're feeling tired or exhausted too easily on a regular basis and there's no good reason why, you could try taking multivitamins and see if it makes a difference. Ideally, it should help. And I suppose it is possible that multivitamins can help you deal with your allergies better, assuming you have any. But I can't confirm that.
     I guess I can wrap things up here. One thing that I should tell you, from experience, I know that multivitamins can put you into a sleepy state, so do not consume multivitamins before a big event. You will find yourself dozing off involuntarily. And also, be aware of what you're consuming, and how much of it you're taking. Be careful with this stuff. Don't be a moron.
     Alright, now it's time for me to start using my hands to do things that please me! Woohoo! (I bet you're imagining things, am I right? - laughs). Later dudes. Peace.
