Well this bout isn’t nearly as bad as it was the last time I had this. Possibly because this time I’m not listening to the doctor and AM treating it like poison something. But it does still itch like a %$**(*^ so, after taking the mega dose antihistamine on Tuesday night and being a zombie most of the day yesterday, I decided to scale back a bit last night. I have an over the counter antihistamine that I use for my allergies that I tried last night. That seemed to do the trick just fine. It does wear off after about 6 hours though and the itching comes back so I’m going to have to live on this stuff for a day or two more till the rash goes away.
Speaking of the rash, I tried a couple of things night before last. First I put my son’s acne cream on one spot (hey, it’s supposed to dry the acne up so why not) and I used Aveeno anti itch cream with something in it that is supposed to dry up rashes, and I used just strait Ivy Dry on the rest of the spots. The acne cream seemed to work the best! The Ivy Dry came in a close second and the Aveeno – waste of time.
So, last night I double dosed with the acne cream on everything and sprayed the Ivy Dry on top. I’m gonna get rid of this crud one way or another!
Glad you're surviving! Make sure to drink extra water as you use antihistamines or you can inadvertently get dehydrated.
