The Face of Poison Ivy

Ahhhhh... finally the doctor decided yesterday to give me a steroid shot and some other pills to get this ivy cleared up!!! I thought I'd send you some pics...
Luckily, most of it is healed on my face... I had it all around my lips, on my chin, my forehead, and on my cheek below my left eye. It was starting to make my eye swell shut!

My right arm, however, is not quite so healed. It IS better than it was, but dang!!!! Will it please go away?!

I also have it on my neck, left arm, both lower legs, and both upper legs.

Thank God for shots.... *happy sigh*

so have you found/tried Restox yet? it's a homeopathic remedy I think I mentioned before - it would have cleared that up in about 2 days....instead of steroids! Ex husband used to be sooo allergic - he got multiple shots and cortisone cream once and it didn't touch it. That's when Restox was recommended - cleared him up in 1 day! Anyways - know that poison ivy is nothing to play with - happy you're healing.

Oh no! Poor Jana! That is so awful and must be so uncomfortable. I'm glad they were able to do something that helped with the discomfort and healing.

Take care!
