Contact Dermatitis

[dalthauser]

I 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.... :-)

I did aveeno - yes, you are right - it does!!

I hope someone cool moves onto that land near you. Wish I could buy it. Right now we're a two house family - not sure what's going to happen there. Hopefully Marcel will move to New Braunfels when/if the restaurant sells. We'll have to see. We're taking it one day at a time - and thinking positive.

You know, Houston has a great market for good restaurants, and several are capitalizing on the local food movement. Imagine being able to grow food on your land and send it to the restaurant! There is even room for goats for goat cheese!

I'm just sayin'....
