Fuck this fucking itchy post surgical skin and the idiot it rode in on ( namely, me). And the nurse who refused to even look at it but said to her poor wee subordinate, "just tell her to go get some hydrocortisone cream." Fuck you very much, lady. I have hydrocortisone cream up the wazoo, two benadryl by mouth and a ton more by skin, ice packs, and a full dose of hydrocodone--and it isn't fucking doing a fucking thing. My abdomen looks like hamburger. My family go in fear of the hivy red monster who has inflicted herself upon them. There are thirteen and a half hours yet before i can go see the NICE allergist, who will give something stronger than bathwater to cope with this. Meanwhile i can't even take a fucking bath, because of six fucking incisions.

I'm going to be the awake and awful asshole from hell all night, as I try not to scratch. Fuck you very much, idiot, for all your fucking help.

See, children, what itching can do to a person. Lamb Chopped is normally the most calm, reasonable, and logical person on the ship, and now see what she's become.

Reminds me of Dave Barry's "A Rash Proposal", in which he goes to a doctor hoping the doc will prescribe "one of those three-pronged garden implements" and instruct him to "rake it across the rash every 10 seconds or as needed."

Wishing you relief and peace, and non-idiot medical care.

Have you tried putting it on the rash?

All the best for your healing lamb chopped.

eleven and a half hours!

Whenever I'm uncomfortable, I just drink the discomfort away. Or maybe an oatmeal bath, if you like your liver. Sorry for the itching.

My wazoo is Just.Fine.Thank.Yew. but I want the Rusty Farm Implement! Who's got it, who?

I do NOT want to irritate the red rashy harpy lady....

You got a rash too, huh? [Razz]

I wouldn't want to irritate her either.

Something else (an allergen of some kind or the attempt to shove hydrocortisone cream up the wazoo) seems to have taken care of that already.

Sounds like LC could use a test. A lab test.

What, and you think that just because I'm in a different hemisphere, it'd be safer for me?

You're not supposed to drink hydrocortisone, either.

Let's not rush to any rash decisions. Six incisions are enough.

Probably a reaction to the steriliser they swabbed your skin with pre-operation.

1. Gently wash the entire area (they'll have swabbed from John O'Groats to Lands End) with mild face wash or anything you know doesn't make you itch.

2. Don't apply any more hydrocortisone cream - some people find it makes them itch more and you may be one.

3. Apply a little honey, if necessary mixed with a smidgeon of water.

Cover loosely.

DRINK WHISKY.

I itch 24/7 as I have psoriasis and dry eczema, you have my sympathy and empathy.

My only advice is to train your brain to ignore it - which is easier some days than others.

LC, can you get
Epaderm or similar where you are?

After years of suffering, I finally saw a GP with an interest in dermatology who told me that the various STUFFS they put in "creams" as a preservative do, in fact, often exacerbate the condition (something no Consultant Dermatologist had ever suggested). Epaderm (no, I'm not on commission), otoh, is an oil-based preparation that allows the skin to heal by itself and certainly stops the itching ime.

reality check, idiots - remember that the Ship (and sure as shit not Hell!) is not a good source of medical advice and the crazy crap these idiots are spouting is probably a bunch of fantasy and does no good whatsoever. However, even if you morons happen to have the really real for-sure cure for the common hive, we're not the place. you want to offer LC your medical advice, keep it private and off the boards.

of course, you all already know this, you just forgot, right?

MWA-HA-HA-HA. He gave me the GOOD stuff.

After eyebrows getting higher and higher as I told him all the shit I'd tried at once. I thought they'd get tangled up in his hairline.

He is a good Catholic and considers itching to be a Device of the Devil.

He offered no opinion on the provenance of the nurse who blew me off.

I've got a rusted farm implement for ya. Used by a friend of mine who had to clear out some underbrush to plant an herb garden. Naturally, she was quite pleased with her handiwork, and had me over to show it off.

"Um, Helen? That's poison ivy by the cilantro."

The look on her face when I pointed out what she'd been elbow-deep in the day before—simultaneously priceless and frightening. Of course I faked it and put on my best Sympathyface when she called me a day later, her arms and legs covered in weeping rashes. Somehow, taunting irate women with RFI's and a nasty case of the Rash doesn't seem like a good idea, even to sometimes dimwits like me.
