Rash

[gja1000]

Hi guys, welp I've got another horrible rash on my face again. I'm not sure if you remember that I had a horrible case of poison ivy last fall on my face. Since then I've had minor rashes on my face when I would work in the yard and forget to wear gloves. Well, Tuesday I spontaneously decided to pull some grass from my garden. I did it with my bare hands without thinking and when I realized what I was doing, I made sure to wash my hands really well when I came in. I guess that wasn't enough because the rash and welps started yesterday and by last night it was really really bad. My eyes were so swollen this morning. Fortunately, I got in to see my nurse practitioner and got a steroid shot and pills to take for a few days. I already feel better. Whew! But of course I hate steroids, I can't sleep and I'm hungry all the time!
