Test results still not back. 🤬🤬🤬Rash is spreading all over arms and legs, my butt, neck, and has just shown an interest in my left boob. I feel utterly miserable about it. My MIL (who's had her share of skin issues) says, "Oh I always get my results back 24, 48 hours at the most. But then I've had my tests done by the specialists." Yeah alright miss smarty pants private health cover part pension, you're not helping.

In the interim is there anything that might sooth the symptoms?

Do antihistamines help any with this?

I wouldn’t listen to your MIL, don’t need her 2 cents about her experience and how lightning fast things are. Doesn’t help you in the slightest.

I'm just about to try some antihistamines. And thankyou re MIL, she can talk underwater with a mouth full of marbles

I really hope you feel better soon and ca. get to the bottom of whatever is causing the problems.

I suffer from skin conditions as well though I hide them but some days it can be painful and it just saps the energy away from you.
