Poison Ivy


 I got a bad case of poison ivy while I was in WV.   It is all over my legs.  I have gotten a steroid shot and steroid creams. I have been scrubbing it, cleaning it, putting on tons of anti-itch cream and calomine lotion.  I have washed my clothes and towels every day.  It seems to be getting worse; new spots keep popping up.  I might need to go back to the doctor.  






It just keeps getting worse and worse.  I called the doctor, and he put me on prednisone to see if that would help. 

I first noticed signs of poison ivy the day before we left WV.  It has now been almost 2 weeks, and I am seeing some improvement, and it is less red.  But it looks like I have been burned around my ankles.
