Contact Dermatitis
Jun. 5th, 2009 01:41 pmI have it, and it's not fun.....
I'll save you all the details and just hit the highlights:
1.) Rash w/ blisters appears on my right arm - "spreads" within a three day period to my left arm - then to my ribcage and forehead - then finally my eyelids. Itching...... oh my the itching.
2.) Insect bites? Allergic reaction? Disease?
2.) Research the rash via internet and become convinced I have either Leprosy or Shingles.
3.) Make Dermatologist appointment (not my regular doc since he couldn't see me for a whole week, and I was sure I'd be sent to Molokaii before then)
4.) Doc says I'll live - I have Contact Dermatitis probably from something "you got into".... She gave me a script for Prednisone and sent me on my way.
Fun stuff. :-/
Marcel was very supportive in the subject line of his recent email: "Think positive please...." :-) He was very happy when I called and reported that the doc said I would live.
That's all for now.....carry on.... :-)
