Some men give diamond tennis bracelets (Bailey's Jewelry! Two locations serving you!), my man puts me to work in the yard and I get a rosy bracelet of poison ivy around my arm for a week. I've had it twice this summer and I toughed it out fine with the first go-round. BUT the red nastiness around my wrist was more than I could take. I found myself vigorously rubbing my arm on the edge of my desk... and snorting!I even had a dream that I was a SUPERHERO... I was...
***POISON IVY!***
I would put villains in a head lock with my left arm and rub my poison rash under their neck in a sawing motion... two days later they would break out in an ugly, itchy rash! That'll show 'em!
Seriously, though, I went to the old doc to get a steroid shot to dry up this mess and ended up in a brier patch. I had an adverse reaction to the injection that left me slurring my words, unable to walk straight, unable to eat, and seeing stars occasionally.
My sister told me to get the shot. She said I would feel great! She said I would have whopping amounts of energy and get a ton done... not so much.
Fletcher talked about it on the radio today and had a male caller say his steroid shot was like a three day Viagra high... huh? What went wrong with my shot? Did they give me the wrong medicine? I hate shots... I still feel lousy.
I felt drunk for a whole day, now I feel hung over... ridiculous. I'm tired and I need to lay down.

Aly - Next time for your poison Ivy, try Ban Roll On. It will dry it out rather quickly. I've used it. It works.

On your adverse reaction to the shot - ask your doc @ a gene that you may or (probably)may not have that helps your(womens)body process the drug. My Mom in law can't go under some anethesia b/c of this issue. I understand its a genetic thing.

Wow... thank you super insightful Misty! Ban roll on... will definitely give it a whirl. ha. Will ask my Mother about the gene thing.
Sounds to me like you had an allergic reaction... I hope your doctor knows the side effects. It could be more dangerous (life threatening) if you're given the steroid again!
