Did you tell the derm's receptionist that you were under orders not to treat it until you were see, so the dr. could see it active, and that it is terribly itchy?
Yes. But since I called at noon on Thursday, and the doctor doesn't work on Friday, there wasn't a lot she could do for me.
Susan, try the tea tree oil. Based on your description of what it looks like, and the fact that it recurred after the steroid/antifungal cream pretty much got rid of it, if it's *not* a fungal infection, it's doing a damned good imitation of one.
I've got tea tree oil in the medicine cabinet--I've used it on zits in the past.
Can you get that at a normal grocery store?
Probably, if they have a health-food or "natural" food section. I got mine at Trader Joe's, since I seem to live there now.
But no, not a competition.
Uh, did you check to see if -t is in your generational cohort? 'Cuz, she might be tricking you into thinking everybody's slacking off while she scoops up all the cool jobs.
I have never gotten mono. I should've kissed more people.
I have a migraine and I want to stab the right side of my head with the big shears on my desk. It will please stop now. (I'm hoping I caught it early enough that between the coffee and the Advil migraine it will be gone before it turns into full on nausea brain scraping pain).
This is the kind of schadenfraude that will bite your ass in a few years.
Not if I go out and get mono now, it won't.
I have never gotten mono.
Actually, you probably have had mono, only it felt more a like a cold or a mild 'flu, and that built up your immunity enough to spare you a big case. Almost everyone is immune by the time they are 25.
All this I learned when we were trying to figure out who was going to be taking care of my sister's three children, including the little 4 year old who was carrying, but not showing any symptoms herself.
I remember there was some twittering about a friend of mine when she got it in middle school. I hadn't really kissed a boy yet and I was all jealous.
I had it twice.
My Aha! may be wavering.
I had fun getting it the second time, but still have never figured out how I got it the first time.
I totally understand, Lilty. My siblings are my equal in slackitude as far as careers go, but my younger sister got married and started having kids way young (and stayed married and is a wonderful mom) while I was severely single with no prospects.
If I've been scooping up the good jobs, I certainly haven't been able to keep track of them. Maybe they're behind the couch. If so, I sincerely apologise for my slovenly housekeeping raising unemployment levels.
Though, honestly, I don't think I'm in Lilty's generational cohort. Though I don't know how broad those things are, and I'm not completely sure how old Lilty is. Uncertainty abounds.
