I'm sorry to hear about your pain, but, is it this bad?
Yeah, that's my arm and hand... they got poison ivy the worst, it was also spreading onto my chest, face, neck, and shins.
I went onto steroids for that... how much iron did I pump while I was on 'em, none.

I had poison ivy on my face really bad one time... yeah, on my eye too, now that was a bummer, but still not as bad as what you see above. 'Cause I was at camp when I got that, so I didn't go to the doc's 'till I got back... which was several days...
I believe those pics were taken the day I went to the doctors.

Good luck with the treatment.
