How Stupid of Me
 

To think I would only have poison ivy on my hands and one spot on my knee...

Didn't I know I would have to get it up my arm, under my boobs, on my stomach and in my pants???

Oh yeah - it's official. I have it EVERYWHERE!!!!

I remember working out in the yard last year and getting this in most of the exact same places. I am NEVER doing yard work again. I love yard work - even in this heat, but it's not worth two weeks of a raised painful itchy rash. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif

Some one come peel my skin off so I can feel better http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif


Really though - anyone know of anything that really helps? I've been using Aveeno anti-itch stuff and I think that's the best over the counter stuff so far - do yall know of anything a doctor could prescribe me?

Edit - I found my thread from last year! http://offtopicz.com/showthread.php?...ght=poison+ivy

So I'm not allergic to what I thought was poison ivy, but I'm allergic to SOMETHING out there.

I know I'm not allergic to the poison ivy that's in my yard because I pick it out my flower beds all the time and nothing happens.

It's only when I rake and mow in the summer that I break out.

Uh huh, sure it happened when you were "mowing". http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

You could try benadryl, that usually works well. You could always go to the doc and get a steroid shot, which would clear it up in a matter of hours.

I went to the doctor today - I got two steroid shots, some cream and he says Zyrtec because it's a nondrowsy Benadryl.

I'm on my way. Thank god because it has cropped up on my face!

Ugh! Glad to hear you got some shots. You should be feeling better in no time!

Thanks http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif
