Dealing with Poison Oak

I tell you I have been having a time lately. My husband and I were working in the yard and we got into Poison Oak. I knew I was allergic to Ivy and Sumac and I should have known that Oak was next, but no.... Anyway, we went to the doctor and the medicine he prescribed for us both helped my husband, but would it help me, NO WAY!!! I had to go back to the doctor again today and he said I have developed a fungal infection in the spot on my leg. It is horrible, the itching, the redness, the swelling. OOOOHHHH!!!

Anyway, I'm waiting for the pharmacy to deliver my medicine and hopefully in about 5 days everything will be back to some semblance of normal.

Well, I guess that's all for now. I won't bore you with any more of my tedious problems.

Have a blessed day, ya'll.

  1. I hope you're getting over your poison oak.. I certainly know how you feel. When we bought the place we are living now, it was covered with poison oak and I broke out every two weeks or so... You just can't describe how bad it itches.. Anyway, what I have found to do the trick, is to have a lot of bottles of rubbing alcohol on hand and just pour it in you hands and rub it where you think you may have come in contact with the poison. And, I mean cup your hand and pour a lot and then rub it all over... If you do that within the hour of touching it, it somehow breaks down the oil and you won't break out.. Anyway it works for me... I hope it will work you you, too.
    I want to thank you for visiting my blog today.
    Have a great evening... :0)
