DahliaK has a real good point there. Better do what she says if you want to avoid the hydrocortisone shot expense. You should’ve been done with your rash by this time. Google ‘jewelweed’. Should be some pictures on the web and it’s a common weed you probably have in your yard or public park. Worked great for me.

Just be sure you are not re-attacking yourself. Hot soapy water will remove the toxin from most anything (including your skin) … is it on your shoelaces? Then every time you tie your shoes, the substance gets on your hands, and when you scratch your nose, well, you get the picture. If your dog has been walking through poison ivy and you pet your dog… same deal.

Wash everything, cover yourself in calamine lotion (also keeps men from hitting on you) and in another week or so, you should have nothing left but secondary infections caused by your own undisciplined scratching of the rash.

Tried the rubbing alcohol, but not the cornstarch. Never heard of that remedy before. Don’t know what jewelweed is. I know you said on my blog (yes, some people do go there once in a while), that you’ve had poison ivy before. Did those remedies make it go away faster? I am going crazy here!!

Tried washing it thoroughly with rubbing alcohol, then rinse, then apply cornstarch paste, Marilyn? Or jewelweed?

Man was not designed to walk upright. That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.

I have had back pain since an accident 2-1/2 years ago when I got broad-sided by someone on the Thruway. I’ll take the pain, since I thought I was going to die.

BTW, have you checked out my poison ivy pic? {click}

I got it at my in-laws 2 weeks ago and it’s driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!

It’s not for everyone. It has it’s effect and some people swear by it saying that it has given them much better results than any conventional methods they’ve tired.

There are a lot of different approaches, some very general; aligning the structure of the body, while others seem to incorporate new age type healing with the actual rolfing; using the power of their higher body energy to heal. Those folks say that is the real power of rolfing.

The demonstration I witnessed just freaked me out, so I can’t say first hand if it works or not. In theory it might, but it looked so violent that one wrong move gives the impression that it could kill.

Though, If you find a professional and are into the rack, this might be worth looking into.

I guess Kevin’s bad back killed him (click). Shame. He should’ve tried the bat thing.

P.S. On The Link:
I get the video. I just don’t get the post.

The weekend with the Rosecrucians perhaps.
