The Itch That Won't Go Away

I've been suffering from a mysterious rash for over a month now. It started after I had been tanning. My doctor diagnosed it as "heat rash" and gave me predisone about 2 weeks ago. It cleared up everywhere except on my left arm and around my neck. I went back yesterday and she said she still thinks it's from an allergic reaction to laundry detergent. She gave me a shot in the butt of steroids. I guess it looks better this morning. Looks like it's drying up a little. Last night I was still itching especially my chest and neck.

I also suffer from severe seasonal allergies. I thought this all stemmed from my horrible hayfever. One night I was at a track meet until 1000 at night and the next day red and itching til it drove me crazy! I still think the rash is related. I am just hoping it goes away this time! If it doesn't I have an appointment with a dermatologist in Fort Dodge in 2 weeks.

As far as overall health goes, I'm still losing weight. I have lost almost 4 pant sizes since a year ago without exercising. I have been taking supplements from GNC. I think I have finally discovered just the right combination that works with my body to shed the pounds. Instead of taking just one kind, I take like one of each of about 3 or 4 kinds. It's working. I've also discovered how amino acids aid in weight loss. It's amazing. I have been down to the size I am for about 2 years. I know I need to exercise to tone it all up now, especially my legs! I'm definitely not bikini ready yet! Maybe bikini top while covering up the bottom half! I haven't felt comfortable about wearing shorts for quite a while. However, I see really heavy women wearing them and think, "What am I worried about?" It's very interesting seeing what some people chose to wear!
