My last post mentioned how the heat might exasperate my skin eruptions... I wrote it, thought about it... and then in the heat and humidity of Florida I went and trimmed the bushes and raked the yard.
Macho man.
My ankle looks like a softball- my skin itches insanely...I barely got any sleep last night... and I am popping benedryl like m&ms.
Makes you wonder what causes the swelling. Anywhere Tom has eruptions, there is tremendous swelling. Ankles, hands, arms. He was given a topical antibiotic, not oral. He has taken short courses of Valtrex too. He has been prescribed Atarax for the itching. It works well, better than anything he could slather on. But the drymouth it causes is horrendous. It is a trade-off.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to stay indoors. But the heat does make it worse it seems. Take care, Nancy
