Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 A week ago today I started clearing out all the plants and bushes/shrubs from around our house. That night I had two small bumps on the side of my face, kinda looked like mosquito bites, and they itched like mad. Then the next day they were a little worse, and 2-4 days ago all of a sudden it's down my neck, starting in on my upper chest, around my upper arm, and the patch on my face is HUGE. Well, I have extremely sensitive skin, so I figured it was a bad reaction to the bug bite medicine I had been applying. Today I woke up and it's even worse and as I'm looking in the mirror, my gut instinct was to get into the doctor this morning. Boy am I ever glad I did--poison ivy. And I'm having a pretty severe reaction, apparently. So now I'm on a steroid for two weeks. I don't care what it takes, I just want the itching to stop! Anyway, the Wendie Plan is working awesome so far! Now keep in mind that I was terribly bloated from TOM before starting this, but I've dropped 6 pounds since my weigh-in Monday--woo hoo! Don't know how the steroid is going to affect the weight loss, but I'll keep following the plan and just weigh-in next week, then again once I'm off of it. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! -Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
