(This should have posted 3 days ago.)
This is the first day since this whole rash business started that I haven’t had some temporary (1-3 hours) rash sprout on the underside of my forearm, the back of my hand, or elsewhere. My primary doc relayed my info, with pics, to dermatology. The doc covering for my dermatologist recommended a different antihistamine, but this was late in the day, so that might not happen until Monday. 😥. However, given that I haven’t gotten any new rashes today (finally!), and the original rash areas are only mildly itchy now, I’m not too upset.
I still find myself dragging during the day but can’t tell how much of that is post-op recovery and how much is the meds I’m taking for this stubborn rash. I cut back on the Rx antihistamine, which has drowsiness as a side effect, but that doesn’t seem to have made any difference. Twice this week I’ve slept late, had breakfast, then gone back to bed for a hour or so, which I almost never do. I was feeling a bit out of it this morning. The Chief and I went grocery shopping today and I was hanging on to that cart to steady myself. Weird feeling!
