Here is the picture that, for some unknown reason, didn't post on the last note.

Misery Part 2

This has to start getting better soon or I think I will pull my hair out! Actually, there are signs that it has begun to recede a little, but it is still miserable. Thought you might appreciate a look. Imagine this spread all over legs, thighs, tummy, chest, arms and neck. Minimal on back, interestingly enough. It is annoying, painful, itchy and burning and it is making me really grumpy.

Misery

I recently had a sinus infection for which the doctor prescribed an antibiotic. I faithfully took it for the full 10-day course and took the last one Saturday morning. Sunday morning I woke up with a bit of a rash developing. Pretty itchy. This morning it is so much worse and spread all over the whole of me. I went to the doctor. He diagnoses it as an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. Curious that it didn't show up until AFTER I was done with the medicine, but there you go. Anyway, I am now on Atarax (makes me v e r y sleepy) and a steroid cream. Hopefully it goes away pretty quickly. It is making me really grumpy and makes me think seriously about jumping into my 55 degree swimming pool. Grrrrrrumpy. Gives me a whole new empathy for people who suffer chronic skin disorders. What misery. I must remember to pray for those so afflicted.
