Itchy, Itchy, Scratchy, Scratchy, Thank God There's Not One On My Backy!

Status: 16 weeks, 5 days

So, while we were driving down to Orlando on our 10 hour (yes, TEN) journey to Sam and Becca's last week, I suddenly began sprouting these tiny little bumps (they looked like bug bites) on my legs. They itched here and there, but I didn't think much of them because I randomly itch all the time.

Well, let's fast forward to today, 6 days later. Instead of going away, they have multiplied, called all their friends, and are throwing parties on my arms and legs! And these cute little bumps turn into evil hives the second I even THINK about scratching one! Today, I finally had enough. After trying Benadryl, Pepcid, oatmeal baths, and various types of soothing lotions (without much change or comfort) I called my primary care doctor's office and begged them to fit me in. They are awesome and saw me right away - literally 30 minutes after I called.

I am now going to be a steroid freak for the next 6 days - which sucks because it's Pesach and I didn't buy much to eat! Hopefully this will help, but there is a good chance I am going to be scartching until Tobe makes an appearance....can I get a big OY from everyone for that!?!
