Thanks and I will, but just getting relief right now was a huge help.

Cover cover cover! I looked like a walking mummy because I covered my rash first with calamine and then gauze so nothing would brush up against those areas and make it itchy or open any blisters. I also washed everything I came in contact with.... Sheets, towels, clothes, washcloths after every use. I like ivy dry cream, if you can find it. I am extremely allergic so I soooo sympathize with you. My rash was so bad this last time I had to go on prednisone. Good luck and I hope it goes away soon!!! Eta: I had poison oak this last time, not ivy, that's why it got so bad. Also, put ice packs on it if it gets really itchy, it helps a lot!

How wonderful life is with femmes. I like my dude friends of all types and walks of life and I enjoy our time. It is essential. The way I need to be around femmes is I feel safe and nurtured. I know many times out in public; I can let all the head stuff go and she will handle things. It is like I can relax inside her territory. I feel safe. I can breath. I know she has this whether it is children, shopping, or remembering that thing Im not supposed to forget.

Femmes are brave and bold and brazen and good fighters. Their perspective is one of survival. In our world here the femmes united is a remarkable and beautiful sisterhood. It is attractive and exciting and safe. It is a vacation. Going to the reunion last year...I became aware of how like going to a family gathering it was rolling up to the Peabody Hotel. I had four aunts growing. They handled everything and were so much fun to be around while they handled everything. Thankyou for being who you all are out in the world. A special thank- you to my partner in crime...sierragirrl for adventuring the world a little closer to home this summer.....I appreciate that honey! I know you are just always agreeable and pleasant about changes. I know no matter what is happening in your house or life that if I need to rest and hide from the world's judgement...your house...your recliner...your blankets...your food...your children...your lil dog..you will love me unconditionally

I did finally go to an urgent care center after work and she prescribed prednisone. While I was getting it filled, I picked up Ivarest and this really awesome scrub. Tecnu Extreme Medicated Poison Ivy Scrub. It says it works in 15 seconds and it did!. It felt really good ...Almost orgasmic!

Technu is the best! They have a lotion that you can use if you are hiking and bumped some poison oak. I have had poison oak so many times. I always had it as a kid and then as an adult I would get it from my dogs. I would wash with Technu in a lukewarm shower. Lukewarm is important because hot water will spread the oil.

Sea Breeze is an astringent and it works great on poison oak. I would carry it around with cotton swabs and put it on when it got really itchy. I don't know if they even make it anymore.

Hope it clears up soon!

Technu that was the name that was escaping me... Glad you are on your way to feeling better OS Butch.
