But I am stubborn, and relentless. I went to the baseball game (tailgate brunch first) I had on an UGLY (by my standards hat), sunglasses again and even zinc oxide to the point that it looked like war paint (I'm past worrying about what people think of me. Much more heat and sun

After the game, I took a shower and went to bed (at 6 oclock) I wasn't feeling spiffy. Woke up this morning and my eyes are almost swollen shut.
SERIOUSLY! I think I have some sun poisoning.......(and I don't know how that happened). I placed a call to my PC and am doing the cucumber thing again. It's not like I haven't seen any sun this summmer yet.

Maybe I'm reacting to the sunscreen?

My PCP said I am Dehydrated. I look like space martian and feel like crap.
Take motrin. Drink pedialyte (sp) and lay in the tub with cool water and cool towels laying on my skin. Stay out of the sun. OK, I got that!
Forget the pedialyte....(ever taste that?) I have gatorade. I asked him how I became dehydrated.....I loved this part he said Drinking in the sun will do that to you. I wasn't drinking anything but water....then he changed his tune to, well sometimes it happens. He said I could go to the ER and get an
IV bag of liquids and that would help me feel better (to which I thought, yeah help the hospital feel better too$$$).

I can't wait till this stuff starts to peel! good by temporary tan.
