I have two prescriptions for a steroid cream and a stronger antihistamine. Now I just need to fill them.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

I've had good results with using Benadryl ointment - I get a fair number of mosquito bites when it's warm and I've found if I slap the ointment on fairly soon after I'm bitten, the itching is minimal.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
oh - good reminder I need to buy an office chair.
I am getting rid of mine for another. I currently have this one from IKEA: [link] It's perfectly fine and really comfortable. The only reason I'm changing it is because of aesthetics. My current obsession is making my workspace more unified and less cluttered.
It's yours if you want it. I need to order the new one, so I can't tell you exactly when it will be available, but if you can hold out....

Cinnamon Toast Crunch:
Oy, meara. That's just a whole bunch of wrong. She especially should know better.
Dana, I hope the hives disappear quickly.
Cass, you can only do what you can do. Eff 'em if it's not enough.
Toddson, your new place sounds lovely. Will you still be in the same neighborhood?

Dana, once when I had a weird reaction to something that give me hives, my doctor told me that in addition to antihistamines, I could also take any of the acid blockers that are histamine-2 antagonists (Axid, Zantac, Tagamet, Pepcid, or any of their generics). Apparently, even though the histamine they target is primarily in the GI tract, they also are helpful in dermatological allergic reactions. And it did actually help my hives.
So if the new antihistamine isn't helpful enough, you could try adding Zantac to see if it helps.

If the new drugs don't help, I will probably move to the next step of cutting off my arm. It's the left one, so I don't really need it.
But thanks for the info. We might have some of that lying around here.
