Poison Ivy

So i have poison ivy EVERYWHERE! I knew exactly when I pulled it from the yard and came right in to wash my whole arms. Lo and behold, it still shows up! DARN IT! I used to be soooooooooo allergic to it as a kid, but haven't had it for years, so I guess I was hopeful I grew out of that allergy. WRONG! My left eye is swollen, it's all over the left side of my face and nose, I have it all over the left side of my abs, all up my left arm, all over the back of my neck and some on my left inner thigh! SHOOT YOURSELF! Thankfully, my best friend is a dermatologist and I got a steroid prescription. Jack is on his way to the drug store as I type this to get me some short term itch relief. I plan to take a long bath in oatmeal and pray that it looks slightly better tomorrow. Becky, my twin sister, had it couple months ago and both her eyes were swollen shut by day 3 (that's tomorrow for me) and it took a total of 5 weeks to go away! I'll die!!!
