POISON IVY - OUCH!!!

I haven't posted in a few days because I had a severe allergic reaction to poison ivy! I usually get it every year, but this year benedryl and benedryl spray didn't affect it at all. I have it on both arms, then I got it on my eyelid, yuck! Then, it started to break out on my foot and my legs, so I decided it must be in my bloodstream. Sure enough I went to the doc and had to get a shot. She put me on steroids and gave me some cream, so it quit blistering, but the itch is still present. Guess next year before Poison Ivy season I better go get that shot that lasts for a year.

Don't ask me how I got it, only thing I can figure is my pomerainian had gotten into it or I got it from the air. All I know is I don't want it anymore. So tomorrow I will be back to blogging normally again!!

Hi-
I happened across you through Eddo- checking out his templates.

Yesterday my hair stylist happened to tell me about Zanfel. It's an OTC for poison ivy, poison sumac, etc. It's pretty expensive at $38 per tube- but cures in one day.

too coincidental not to pass along the info.
feel better soon.

I was about to mention to rush out and buy Zanfel too, it is worth it's weight in gold. Good thing, since it's about as expensive as gold. I recommended it to a co-worker last week, and he was so thankful and impressed. Oh well, now you know for next time!
