Sean, you need muscle relaxers and painkillers. Can you go to an urgent care clinic tomorrow?
In less serious but still seriously annoying news, I appear to have developed a fun new allergy to bandaid adhesive. If the adhesive hits an open cut, it seems to make the wound worse: see also: gaping scraped raw new wound next to the old wound I had been covering with a bandaid.
I think I may be hitting the point that I can't put off going to the doctor and getting a referral to an allergist and/or dermatologist.
I can't use bandaids with latex, they mess with my skin. I use the cloth bandaids.
Pix, both HPF and I are the same. She worse than me.
I discovered that I have a sensitivity to Neosporin.
That was not fun when the top layer of my skin came off.

I thought I was allergic to the latex, but nope. It's the adhesive. I still use bandaids when I have to but I do know that there will be a healed spot and then two telltale new welty, itchy and ouchy spots next to it. The cheap Rite Aid brand tends to be the least reactive for me personally. They don't stay on super well either so I assume it's less adhesive but I generally just need to stop bleeding so when they fall off, it's fine. Less welts.
I hope you are able to find some relief, Sean. Back pain is really brutally miserable.
All you all need to be wrapped in hypo-allergenic bubble wrap!!

I actually went to the doctor this morning, because of something very similar. What used to be one scratch is now a whole mess of sores.
I got a prescription for anti-bacterial and anti-itch cream, but CVS screwed up, so I haven't started it yet.
It's hypo-allogenic, isn't it? I caint spel.
Ack, Nora. It's been a super stressful week, and being strong for Tom takes its toll. Seriously, let me and the other neighborfriends help with whatever you need.
My dad is allergic to neosporin. I didn't know it was a thing.
Pix, many brackets to you. You've had a week, too.
Sean, I hope you get some relief. Back pain is such a bitch. Have you tried soaking in a warm bath?
I am awake because the snot factory is running full bore and my sinuses hurt. Man, I wish I wasn't working tomorrow.
