my poison Ivy

my poison ivy is spreading daily, got some on my face this morning.  my toes, thighs, vaja-ja, nipples, ribs, arms are covered, i'm oozzing liquid, itching like a mad dog.  and again, finding myself in adelma with meds, due to TB testing.  I can't take anything till next thurs.  I will be in an Mental hospital by then.  and Just when I think things are looking up, something has to bring me down.  was so frustrated yesterday I hate 4 pieces of pizza.  scale up 3 lbs today.  Hmmmm, I always seem to be my worst enemy.  now, i'm off to go pout and feel sorry for myself.   Hope you all have a great weekend.

hugs, Cheryl

Did you happen to watch the news the other day with Bill Green about a natural remedy for poisen ivy...let me see if I can find what it was and get back to you.  It is starting to be sold in natural food stores, etc (maybe Axis Foods will carry it??)
Here's the link to the story:

Sorry  Cheryl  but to  heck with next weeks  test and rescedule it.   See your pcp so it can be documented  and get treated.  It   will just spread and spread  and that is not good.
But that is my  opinon only.   but i do know that   you cant go a week.

I wish you the best!!!

Take care

Good luck!!

Maybe you could reschedule the TB test and get treated.  You should not have to suffer and you don't want it to get much worse

i would reschedule in a second, but it is a 2 step and i've had the 1st step, have to wait a week for #2.  it is all paid for, if I have to have it done again, I will have to pay for it.  I know, pay for it.  But i'm as cheap as they come.  if the itching would just stop I could deal with it.

Take enought Benadryl to knock yourself out!  Maybe?  I dunno know. Four pieces of pizza, that's not too bad. I always have heard from nutritionist and dieticians that if you have two "bad" meals a week and stay on track the rest it won't sabotage your dieting.  Hopefully that will work for you, if not.  Back at it when you feel better!

I've never had poison ivy but I can imagine it must NOT be comfortable!  Hope you can find something to soothe your skin....how about an oatmeal bath?   Hope you find some relief soon!!!!!!!
