Well for some reason the skin on the back of my leg (where I radiation treatment 2 years ago) Is itching.. not just your standard lets scratch it. but were talking full blown poison oak/ivy itch! Well here comes the kicker.. that area is numb to the touch from surgeries past. So I can scratch but not feel it!!! All I can feel is the itch!! Grrr I think i'm going to go nuts!! ETA: there is no rash.. Just Itchy skin!! |
Yup lymphedema in the left calf and lower leg.. And you know exactly what I'm talking about!! |
He's not kidding. I am allergic to mosquito bites -- every time I get bit, the reaction is much worse than a regular person. I get blisters and it itches like crazy. To me a mosquito bite is like getting a really bad case of poison ivy. I take a cup of water, throw it in the microwave and heat it to boiling. Get a cotton ball, dip it in the hot water, and then apply to the bite. After lots of jumping up and down and cussing, repeat a few times. In a few days or so, the bite is gone. No lie. My mom taught me this treatment method and it works. Disclaimer: do not scald yourself by doing this. It works for me but you have to be careful not to cause yourself any first, second or third degree burns. You undertake this activity at your own risk. |
HAHAHAHH some one is following along.. Good catch.. But my leg still itches.. And no one in the office want to hear me rant about my leg.. |
Maybe its God's way of smiting you for destroying so many Rifle, US, Model of 1917's!!!   I just can't let it go......
