We may be anonymous strangers on the internet, but we have one thing in common. We may be a world apart, but we're here together!

Welcome to the 24 hour pledge!

I'm pledging myself to not drinking today, and invite you to do the same.

For the next 24 hours, let's not drink alcohol!

I'm on steroids to treat a gnarly poison ivy rash that spread across my body. The meds have been waking and keeping me up throughout the night. It's a bummer, and I'm tired, but it's also fine. I feel better than I did when I was drinking. I'm still parenting, working, exercising, and reading.

Grateful for life even when it's a little hard.

Are you using Zanfel?

[–] mcpheeandme 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. I've been using Prednisone. I finished my cycle yesterday evening, so I'm optimistic I'll be good to go soon!

Zanfel is an over the counter topical cream that is miraculous. If you are still itchy, give it a try.
