Default Ugh! I have poison ivy!

I had to go with a ten-day oral prednisone taper (30mg, 20mg, 10mg). I don’t do well on a taper like this. I get puffy, and pimply, and generally out of sorts. So the taper is at an end, but the itching isn’t. Ugh.

Aarcyn, I am taking Benedryl. It doesn't help very much, but it'll have to do because nothing else seems to work.
