I'm fairly certain that all this has happened because I turned 40.
Remember the chip allergy? Well, not so sure it was a chip allergy. I went to my PCP (primary care physician) last Friday. She said I had a bad case of eczima and prescribed this cream for me to get at the pharmacy. Thankfully, I now have some insurance because this lovely cream would've been $148 without it. I follow the instructions when I got home that night. The doc had said that it would burn but I just needed to work through it and it would be better on the other side. I think she might've been a little whacked.
I woke up at 1:30am Sat. morning with my face and neck burning like fire and itching like crazy! I got up and looked in the mirror, big mistake, and noticed my face was fire engine red. No joke, the same exact color! I panicked. I washed my face. Didn't help. I kept fanning my face hoping to get some relief. Didn't help. I decided I would just get in the shower and just rinse it all off and try to cool down. The only time it felt better was when the water was running directly on my face. I got out and put on aloe vera gel, lanolin, and Gold Bond anti-itch cream. I might've overdone it. Oh, and I also took 2 Benadryl. Finally, at 3am I felt like I had some relief. I was able to go back to sleep. Saturday morning it was better, but my sinus issues kicked it into high gear!
We won't elaborate anymore on that. I missed work yesterday, but I'm better today. I just hope no one minds me hackin over and over again!! Oh, and that high dollar cream isn't gonna get anywhere near my face again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
