Itchy and Rashy: Update - now with Steroids!

Guess where I went today? G’head… take a guess.

Urgent Care, bitches!!!

Not only did I get the same nurses that treated me on the first day and yesterday for the tendonitis, I also got the same doctor (haaaay Dr. Taylor!!!).

Looks like it MAY NOT be pityriasis rosea, and may very well indeed be some sort of allergic reaction. The itching was so intense today that, basically, as soon as I got to work this morning I had to leave. I tried to make an appointment with a doctor doctor, but nothing was open until Wedensday, so off to urgent care I went. Thanks to Cheri and Jen for hookin’ a sister up with Dr. Taylor again. Today’s perscription was a nice, big steroid shot in my arse. That shit burns. I also got a 5 day perscription for an oral steroid.

Now, the entire reason I’m taking this steroid is basically for rash and itchiness. I just read the serious side effects of Prednisone which, of course, include both rash and itchiness. Whhhhaaaaat?! How does that work? I don’t know, but we’ll give it a try.

Whoever’s got the Holly voodoo doll out there… I get it. I’m sorry. Just take the needles outta the wrists and scrape the goo off my legs and arms. This rash is killin’ me, bitches! You already pulled my hair out, isn’t that enough?!?!

    No, no! It doesn’t count if I go for the same thing each time, so technically I’ve only been twice. :)
