BLAH!! I may have already made an angry post about this, I don't know...but I'm really frustrated!!!
I got poison oak like a week ago and it has now spread to almost everywhere! I have it on my shoulders...my neck....my stomach...my back...my upper legs...my ass....
It's freakin' everywhere!
Last year I probably had poison oak like half the freakin' year...
I REALLY don't want this year to be like last...
Goddammnit..I sure hope this isn't the beginning of the end.
:(
The END?? :( What are you using on it? You must be pretty sensitve to it. Sounds like a real bummer. :(
I'm not using shit on it.Quote:

It pretty much sucks ass...so I can bitch if I want.
Whats up your ass anyway, man?:hippy: :hippy:
I feel your pain, two years ago I worked for a landscaping company, and we had to weed eat this wooded area...I had poison oak covering my legs, hands, forearms, face... and it spread like you said... got it in june, had it til august, still have scars on my legs.
That sucks man....Quote:

Basically....there are so many ways to get it...I have no control..eeEek!
I feel for you, that must be devestating.
If you go in the woods, my advice is to get a shower when you get home, because thats how you get it real bad, because its on you and you dont realize, and spread it all over yourself.
I do believe that is a huge part of my problem...Quote:

I am lucky I guess...I am immune to it.
That shit can be very nasty though. I have seen some bad cases of it.
That is part of my problem too..I was immune to it until my later teenage years....and now I get it like no other!Quote:

I had poison oak on my nuts once when I was younger.... I feel your pain, Marie.
Yea, referring back to that story i told, the reason I got it so bad was because I wore the same jean shorts 2 days in a row... because it wasnt really obvious that i had it yet, then bam, i was screwed.Quote:

I've got that shit all over as well. My arms and ass are the worst.. it sucks so bad at night when I go to bed I can't stop scratching it !! (My ass skin is so soft I can't stop rubbing it). ;)
I've been using some Benadryl cream for a while and it seems to be getting a little better. I've heard that hot showers were bad, is that true anyone ? Because it certainly seems so..
Good luck babe ! We shall heal and defeat the ivy
I used to have Eczema all over my arms when i was little, but i grew out of it. I hope it's not too bad - and i hope it clears up soon.
Lol funny you mention it, cuz poison ivy is starting to make its presence known on my body as well...
I usually get it at least twice a year, so it's nothing new, but still, it sucks because the only thing that gets rid of it is pills from the doc. The lotions and the oatmeal baths only help up to a certain point, but usually the areas are so gross and oozy nothing helps but a shot in the ass or pills.
Good luck to all that are infected. ~
My mate had to have alot of shots in his ass when he went on hols, and he fated right in the docs face haha. Oh i crack myself up llol./
I missed 2 weeks of college- during finals, no less, that was a pain- with severe poison ivy and had to go on oral meds for it.
For small rashes, I actually use Absorbine on it (it's actually horse liniment but you can get it at walmart). It is a bunch of herbal shit dissolved in acetone, and dries out the rash while soothing it. Might be worth a try.
I feel for you Tal... I got no cures but the internet should have some good ones... I only get it in between my fingers for some reason and I know how miserable that is...
I've never had poison oak... and im gonna avoid it like the plague after reading this thread.
