Damm it,,I left the phone out in my truck,,,sorry!
I would say to try and NOT bath if it is spreading, and songs and LA's
suggestions sound good to do to.

If your diggin in your sleep, put some latex gloves on before bed and
remove them first wake and wash your hands well.

Thats my best dude,,lol But sounds like the damm shots didn't help ya
much?

Hey tell the folks here about your LASTNIGHT ORDEAL!!!WOW!

Thanks AdventureBegins, I will take all the advice I can get. I have 12
hour day of sitting in a classroom and doing physical fittness. So the
sooner this stuff gets better the happier I'll be.

Hi indiana,

Thanks, I hope you're feeling better soon.

Get some liquid bandaid and put it on every little bump after you dothe
other things to clean it up. This seals them up so they won't ooze and
spread everywhere. This stuff is also medicated and it protects it while
it's healing. It's also called New Skin...Walmart carries it or CVS.

Last night I was driving with my daughter who is three and we aere
stopped behind a car turning left. A red Dodge neon comes flying up and
slams me in the rear. My daughter started screaming and I immediatley
took my seatbelt off to get the guys information from him. As soon as I
got out of my vehicle the guy took off driving. I hopped back in my car
and pursued him for several blocks until his car broke down. The man
then exited his vehicle and started to approach mine, I grabbed for my
gun, without him seeing it and ordered him to stop. His comment to me
was "what are you a cop" I stated yes I am. He was shocked and new he
had hit & Run on the wrong guy. He was cited by a couple local officers
and has to appear in court. My daughter and I are both fine but I think
my car is going to be totaled by the insurance company....Score one for
the good guys

Indiana - good to meet you - I am a friend of your "pops."

I just Google'd poison ivy. They say to buy a big box of baking soda,
run a warm bath and dump a good amount in the tub and soak in it, the
soda will leech the poison out of the skin. Could use the Calamine
during the day on any residual itch too. Give it a try, may just work.
Hope this helps.

Take care.

Glad you and your daughter didn't get hurt.

I was just so glad that YOU and Lauren were ok,,,
Its likes cops on tv,,,,then poof, your living it!!!lol

hi catch !!!!!!

hiya BP

Thanks Marie55, that sound like a great idea. I am up to anything, this
stuff is a nightmare.

Thanks catch, I do have a problem scratching it.

I hope it works, sometimes the simplest ideas work. Baking soda has
been around forever. Calamine has always worked well. Good luck and
take care.

OHHHHHHHH I do feel for ya been there done that I can not come within
inches of posion Ivy or Oak it seems to like me way too well only way I
was able to cure mine was from the doctor and the steriods had to go
through 2 weeks of meds before it cleared up very painful at times.
Another home remedy that helps now this might sound weird but hey it
works even used it on my kids with they had chickn pox cause ya know how
that itches.


Take and old sock (calf high) fill the foot part about 3/4 full tie top
in a knot run a bath and get some of the oatmeal bath stuff Alveno that
is sold at walmary or other places put that in the tub put the sock with
the oatmeal in the tub also it will get real mushhy feeling soak in the
oatmeal bath do not scrub with soaps it irates the skin take the sock
and dab all over with it before getting out don't rinse it off it works
best if you let air dry and not rub off with a towel it will leave a
coating on your skin want be able to smell it or see it but it will help
stop the itching. Oatmeal works great used it with both my kids when
they had chicken pox and with me and my bout with poison oak /Ivy. Just
a thought been there done that and at that time will try
anything
