• Ow...Eww

  So as you know...I have heat rashes from my trip to Mexico. Definition: Miliaria/Prickly Heat/Heat Rashes.

  The ones on my arms are healing...and it itches from scabbing now.  This is minor compared to...

  The rashes on my legs just started upon my return on Saturday, and has been inflammed since.  I know, hardly helps that I scratched it too.  So I woke up in my sleep a few times from scratching on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.  After work and all, I went to get Aveeno anti-itch stuff and popped more Benadryl on Wednesday night....helped relieve some of the itching.  I went to bed after midnight, after popping the pills and slathering on the lotion.

  Brings me to right now...around 2:30 a.m. woke up with bad itching of my legs...went to soak in ice cold water for a few minutes, and sitting on packs of ice right now...legs burn from previous scratching too...  

  My skin is just crawling from this...

  Already spoke to a doctor/advice nurse on Sunday, btw...nothing but time to make it heal....

  Now I am tired, sleep deprived, and itching, burning legs... and sleeping with ice packs.
