[QUOTE="PonyGirl65, post: 697134, member: 20087"] The pain became so bad Thursday night, and my skin looked more like lobster than human, I had some fairly bad moments of weakness and thoughts of reaching back into illegal drug use...Instead I reached out to my brother, who also has suffered from severe effects of poison ivy. His daughter is a UW Graduate, licensed Pharmacist. Through my texting with Dave, his wife reached out to their daughter, and my niece recommended an over-the-counter topical treatment called Zanfel. VERY EXPENSIVE at $35 for a 1oz tube. My husband and a friend of ours, sitting and visiting that evening as I languished on the couch, got up from our comfortable living room at 10:30 at night to drive 50 miles round trip to procure this product for me. In the words of our friend that night, "I can't stand to watch her suffer anymore" and off they went. Within 30 seconds of applying this treatment, I FELT BETTER!! Not cured, but MUCH relief! Well worth the price. Reduced my burning stinging pinching electric pain down to a faint tingling, and took the majority of the beet red heat out of my poor skin. Hubby is on the way to getting another tube of Zanfel for me today, as the effects do last about 12 hours but I am at the end of the first supply. Day 4 of prednisone still doesn't seem to be very affective. Zyrtec is hardly making a dent. Calomine was useless, so was Prep H. Zanfel is the only thing I've found that brings blessed relief.
