Downside to Sunshine
Don’t faint… three posts in two days… I’m not going for a record here, but I guess the sunshine is helping… sort of. 😉
There is a downside to me enjoying the sunshine. Whenever I am in the sun, this happens…
YEP… gross, right?!? You should see my neck! MAN IT ITCHES SOOOOO MUCH!
In addition to burning if I’m in the sun, I get a nasty ITCHY rash. You guessed it… I have sun allergy. It’s a Catch-22, right? I get depressed when the sun isn’t out, but if I’m out in the sun, I have a reaction. UGH!
I was sitting under an umbrella chair at The Offspring’s softball game yesterday. I had a long sleeve T-Shirt on… good thing… or my arm would be itching, too!
I don’t care… I’ll take the SUN over rain … just need to keep from getting a rash. Any suggestions?
Emily, do you have photosensitivity. Do you get a rash? What do you do?
The rest of you, what happens to you in the sun? How do you keep from itching?
Sunscreen. Cover-up. Antihistamines. Bear it.
btw: The downside of sun at my house is how well I can see what is not happening INside while I am OUTside.
btw: Those harsh sounding things are what I do, as I too developed a raging sun allergy. Once I actually ended up having to take a steroid dose pack. Not a good thing to have to do. THAT was NOT bearing it at all!
Yikes! Sure it isn’t Poison Ivy?
YEP. Not poison ivy. I get a rash whenever I’m in the sun. You should see my neck and chin!
