Good morning and I'm up before the sun came up today! I tried to sleep and dozed for maybe 30-45 minutes before waking up itching like crazy again. I used the new steroid cream I got yesterday right before bed, but it actually doesn't feel like it is working or working yet. My chest is on fire now and has been all yesterday burning and itching. I got the Essential Oil mixture back out and used it after I got up. That is all that I have found that clams this down for any period of time. Yesterday my husband had his wound care appointment for his foot. The PA there that treated him did not think it was an actual diabetic ulcer, but possibly something that got into his foot and got infected or just callus that got infected. She said it appears to have healed just fine and filed off some dead skin. We were both happy to hear that, my husband especially, because he was fixing to have a blood flow test done on his legs. We got out of there mid-afternoon and ran and got some food before heading to Urgent Care so that I could get something for this rash. That was a quick in and out and I came out with 3 prescriptions. One was a steriod cream, one an antihistimine and another for heartburn. Saying humm there on the last one? This doctor told us that they had found that it helps with the healing. Who knows? We were able to make the drugstore right before they closed. I waited until right before bed before I applied the cream, but I was up in less than an hour refilling my essential oil roller bottle. That's how we spent our Monday, how was yours? Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

I am sorry for that rash, it must be so annoying. I hope the doctor may find out from where it comes.

I think it was stress related. I think the Sogrens is trying to kick back in or some other auto-immune thing kicking in. I wish my rheumatologist had not retired. He was wonderful with all of the auto-immune things.

I could not use the Steroid Cream. It burns like fire and does nothing to stop the itching. I went back to my blend of essential oils. Happy to hear that you are having a good week!

Monday it was storming, and uneventful here other than that. What do you think you are allergic to? Good to know about hubby.

I hope he makes a speedy recovery. As you saw (or may have seen), I am all excited about the mango I got at TJ's yesterday. I will be off to Guitar Center soon.

@TheHorse I have been dealing with the rash from #$!! -- no kidding. This is driving me crazy. Trying to get an appointment with new doctor in town tomorrow (Monday). Wish me luck. ER and Urgent Care were no help.

I suppose that 2 out of the 3 prescriptions are helping some. I am still taking the heartburn med they gave me and researched it. Yes, it is also used for rashes! Isn't that crazy? I have stopped the allegery meds for now because my nasal passages are so dry that my nose is bleeding. And I already told you that the steroid cream was like FIRE.

I cant even remember what we did yesterday, today was so dramatic and filled with bullshit. But we survived and we survived today. I really hope you start feeling better.

I don't think they will get to the root of it since I went to Urgent Care, but it is welcome to take a hike and visit someone else now. I've had my share and then some!
