I second the aloe/lidocaine recommendation. Skin pain really sucks. So sorry, Pix.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Thanks guys. I just have pure aloe. It’s been so so long since I’ve had a bad sunburn I don’t even know what’s on the market.

Oh yeah, get yourself some Solarcaine, or aloe with lidocaine. Very key. And keep it in the fridge.
Also take NSAIDS, because they will anti-inflame your skin just like your pain!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Aww, I'm sorry, Pix. Sunburn is no fun. I hope it heals up quickly.

Pix, in the past, I've poured vinegar over my sunburns. Supposedly you're supposed to do it right away, but who knows, it still might work. I'm sorry anout the burns.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Aloe with any of the 'caines. Kept in the fridge helps even further but the anesthetic is really the key when you're in such pain. Or a spray with a 'caine. The propellants make those feel cold as well.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I've found that combining a moisturizer (fragrance-free) with the aloe helps cut down on the tight skin feeling. I'm so sorry, Pix. I hope you feel better soon! Definitely keep taking ibuprofen.
DJ! Woo hoo! I'm so excited to meet you! I do not currently have any plans to leave town.
Would rather not be awake right now.

Pix I'm sorry I hope the burn starts getting better fast.
If you are having trouble sleeping you might want to put cornstarch on the sheets to help cut down on chafing. It also may help if you rub some on the inside of your pants or shorts. I haven't tried that but it might work.

I need some kitty~ma. Dean has had some diarrhea and he threw up a couple of times in the last few days. Now he does have digestive issues and at first I thought maybe he got into food or I've been lax on the probiotics but this seems different.
And then when I was getting him cleaned up I noticed there looked like a sore or a scratch on his rectum. I got an appointment today at 2:30. I hope this isn't serious and also (selfishly) not to expensive.
