[Day] Day 33 - 34 [Date] June 9th - 10th [My Story] The rash looked much worse and was now spreading down my legs where there was no rash before. This meant that almost every inch of my skin was itching uncontrollably. Warning: Very Graphic Images Image One Image Two Image Three I finally started to get temporary relief from the medication. For brief moments of time, the itching would be mild enough to bear for me to lie down and fall asleep for 30 minutes until it began again. The only true relief I found was in video games. I got two new games on the Nintendo DS and it was the games rather than the medication that provided the most relief by distracting me from the itching. I was still not getting any sleep, but at least I found a way to not scratch myself constantly and cause bleeding. Darkened patches started to appear on my face as the swelling subsided. The skin on my face began to become extremely dry. I had to lather lotion on my face to keep it from what felt like extensive peeling. Physically, it felt as if my face were about to fall off altogether. [Suggestions and Advice] If this happens to you, make sure you find something that can distract you from the itching. Because I couldn't stop the itching, I gave up on trying to sleep and concentrated on distracting myself from the itching. Do not just lie there and scratch yourself because you may cause your skin to bleed. If you are a gamer, pick up a new game. The portability of the Nintendo DS let me play in bed. Or consider renting and watching entire seasons of Lost or 24. If your face dries up, apply a strong fragrance-free moisturizer. For me, Cetaphil lotion worked best. [Overview]
