Occupational hazard. We made a list the other day: Bee sting Fire ants Snake bit Sunburn Poison Ivy, Oak, Sumac Ticks Biting spiders (black widows, brown recluse, et al) So far I have bee sting + poison oak + ticks + fire ants + developing skin cancer. I really would like to avoid snake bit. |

I don't think I sunburn anymore...roofing did me in for skin cancer. I hope to god I don't get a bee sting...that would really suck for me. I really need an epi pen or two Corkey, I did the benedryl immediately Oh, And Don't Forget Heat Stroke, Dylan |
just how much and how far is this poison ivy going to spread? It is now on my face, my hand, and my chest. Dammit. I am suppose to get an upper GI tomorrow and am wondering if they wont let me take it now. Which means my surgery will get postponed. This is NOT making me happy.

Heat stroke, it was 102º here today, actual temperature. What the hell. You could irrigate a small field for what came pouring off of me the past two days. It's going to be a long summer. |

It's the body's reaction to the urushiol oil, which travels in the blood stream that creates the rash. New eruptions are simply new reaction sites, but they come from within. One infection from contact can last up to 3 weeks. There are many excellent sources of information, but when researching last week (poison oak, thanks!) I came across this site. Be sure to read the "etiquette" section to maintain your sense of humor. I've been using Ivarest with pretty good success controlling the itch. |
after reading the post from Mr Bent, and going to the web page he linked, I realized why I might have gotten it!
I have been on predisone (steroid) for 4 months. Its one medication they are treating my ankylosis spondylitis (bamboo back) with. I quit taking it two weeks ago! I betcha I have been rolling around where there has been poison ivy and never getting it because of the steroid...and now that I dont have the steriod, places that I weeded before, are now places of doom for me! so...I still have some predisone...I am going to start taking it again...I need to nip this in the bud as soon as possible because I dont want to delay my surgery! |

Good luck, and try not to itch. |
Wondering if the reason I can't sleep is insomnia or fomo.

That my roommate is lazy and might want to stop cussing out the person who babysit's her little boy...

work and moving day.

What's on my mind...
How refreshed I feel after FINALLY getting a relief from back pain to get a good night's sleep. It's amazing that it only took a muscle relaxer and nice glass of wine. |

why do marshmellows give me indigestion?
|
Eat peppermints or chew peppermint gum. It helps with nausea.

anyone heard about people with the ability to "talk" it, and other things (warts, the pain from burns, etc) away? Here in the south, a lot of us are huge believers in these "gifted" people. When we were kids, my brother was so allergic to PO/PI that he would erupt in blisters all over his legs on a pretty much weekly basis every summer, whether he was around the plants or not. Finally, my mama asked around (cause these magical people don't advertise, nor do they accept monetary payment for their services) and found a woman in the neighboring town who had the ability to talk it away. We all piled in the car (it was fascinating, even for me, a non-believer) and off we went. She lived in an old mill house, and was a sweet woman. She sat next to my brother and murmured indistinguishable words while rubbing both her hands over his knees & legs, for about 10 minutes. After that eruption cleared up, he never had it again. Now, i tend to be a very logical, scientific thinker about pretty much everything, so i personally believe it was just coincidence and his body finally decided it had had enough. But whatever the reason....people puts lots of stock into these "gifted" people. |
