update- I am still breaking out. I am allergic to prednisone but the dr. gave me another steroid- wondering if I am allergic to that as the new break outs are splotches, not the streaks of poison ivy and blisters. I am clearing up by using the lye soap for the itching and showering with aveeno.

The new splotches have me bothered- they are on my waist, hip and now down my right leg, only on the front. I still have it on my face by my eye and its still spreading on my upper arms.

I'm wondering how much stress is also in the equation. I super worried all the time about work, I own my own business and I am a worry wart all the time.

Going to call the dr. in the am and see if they want to see me. I am on the last little tube of steroid cream so I need to know if I need a refill before I go to my dd's on Friday.

I drive past the poison ivy on my way down our driveway and I itch just looking at it. :)
