I try and exercise my hand as much as I can. Sometimes it feels like it's so swollen that I can't bend my fingers....but I can. I'll spread my fingers as far apart as I can and then flex then back and forth - sort of like using a hand exercise ball without there being a ball there! Towards the end of the day, though, it's painful as I've used it all day.

But is it wise to take the Benadryl on top of the Zyrtec? Just sayin', cuz I don't want you to get hurt.
I didn't take the Zyrtec last night....just the Benedryl. I still itched, though! But I did sleep more than I usually do. Hey, maybe if I take them both I'll actually sleep through the night! JK....I'd never do that.
