Well I've discovered benedryl is good for something.  Wowie did that ever knock me out yesterday.  Didn't take away the itchy and pin prickly feeling but made me so sleepy and groggy that I didn't care.  Anyway...I slept in majorly today.  So I didn't get in with a doctor.  I did however call and actually managed to get an appointment for tomorrow.  So at 2:45pm I am seeing a doctor about this overly annoying pin prickly itchy burning rash.  Thing is the rash isn't even all that noticeable unless I have a shower or go for a long enough walk...then it comes out and is really tortureous.  So I'll probably go for a walk before my appointment to trigger it so my doctor can see it at its worst.  *sigh*  Not looking forward to it.  I'm also missing out tonight on the Alpha BBQ reunion tonight.  That makes me kind of sad because I was looking forward to it so much.  Ah well...what can ya do.  Anyway...I'm just venting a bit.  I'm so annoyed and tired of laying around doing nothing trying to keep these prickly itchy sensations to a minimum.  I need human interaction...real life human interaction.  And I just can't get it when I'm like this.  Not even with my roommate because she's now gone for the week.

Being isolated when you don\'t want the peace and quiet can be really wearing. But, it is probably better to stay home till you find out if you are contagious, ya know?
Have you tried any calomine lotion for the itch?
