I had a series of shots when I got it head-to-toe as a kid Els... and then didn't get it again until 2 or 3 years ago, and even that was 1 or 2 blisters here and there. Not sure of it was the shots (don't know what they were, could ask mom if you care) or the massive case, but tromping thru the woods unaffected for decades was worth either.

All I know is its nasty. Been ten hours since the shot, and I don't have as much improvement as I'd hoped for. Gonna be pissed if I needed pills, too, and don't have 'em already.

Shot gives you the boost, the pills keep you stable and atenuates the swelling (antigen response). You will gain weight with the pills but it goes away when you stop taking them. Usually tappered dose steroids like prednisone.

'Cept they didn't give me any pills, just the shot. I think I'm going to call and tell them to get me a scrip, cause this isn't abating as quickly as it should.

Did I mention that this was nasty?

Does the decadron confer immunity or what Merc?

Is it in your mouth Els? That was the worst...
Are you using topical benadryl or something?

I have him using my prescription cream that I have for PI. I am extremely allergic, looks like acid burns when i get it bad. I can't believe they didn't give him any of this stuff. It drys it up fast

It's Burn Update Time! Yay!

I'm only posting this because I've had funny looks before about my insistence on the right plaster for the right job. Including this time. I have my own burn plasters at home (and steri strips, graze plasters, blister plasters) but I knew they would be too small, and I claimed the larger one back on expenses as it was a work injury.

Suffice to say I still couldn't get one the right shape and I couldn't be bothered to put a pad on and tape it up.

So here is the result. Can you guess which end was poking out from underneath the plaster? The part of the burn closest to my hand is dry and does not hurt to run my finger across. The part which looks open has actually sealed over, but it's nasty to the touch and looks far more likely to reopen

Buy burn plasters, people, they work!

Nah, yours was far worse.
Thanks to magic burns plaster I wasn't even in any pain.
Usually superficial burns are pretty good on the pain-to-scars ratio anyway, with the proper treatment they are great!

My worst suffering in the last six months has been from acid reflux (invisible and literally crippling - can't talk or move at its worst) and the four bites I got in one night. Even now they are all scabbed over and nearly gone I catch myself scratching absently.

So you win hands down and just accept my apologies that I had something visual at the same time

Oh, hell no. I've had acid reflux, too. I'd rather have poison ivy on my face for a month that wake up once in the middle of the night inhaling/expelling stomach acid through my nose in a stream.

Yeah...waking up with a mouthful of acid really sux, and you know what I find is worse? For the next few days it hurts to brush my teeth because the enamel has been damaged.
