Poison ivy? Maybe not.

I met with my dermatologist again and she is “mystified” and “confused” by my condition. The rash has continued to spread and, at this point, covers most of my body. It’s still painful and hard to deal with the constant irritation, especially at night. Thankfully the pain meds I have are helping to alleviate the pain enough so I can get some sleep.

I have faith that my doctors will be able to figure this out with more time and testing. I have upcoming appointments with specialists and an allergist. In the meantime, however, just waiting (and hurting) is no cool. No cool indeed.
