A few years ago I had severe hives (with no cause that was ever determined - they just sort of stopped occurring eventually) and I found that Aveno's anti-itch cream was the absolute best for itchies. Hope yours go away soon.<BR/>I liked your post about card-playing. I don't think I played cards much when I was young, so maybe that's why I never win often enough to feel competitive about it now! My mom's mom was one of the world's most ferocious card players. I remember her playing (though I don't remember the game - maybe crazy 8s or go fish) with my #2 daughter (about 5 at the time). They played for hours and I could see my grandma struggling to let her great-granddaughter win a few hands!! However, that afternoon cemented a bond that they felt for many years afterward.<BR/>Prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25030905.post-23367729587189137672007-12-29T20:26:00.000-06:002007-12-29T20:26:00.000-06:00((Abi))...I hope you feel better soon...glad you c...((Abi))...I hope you feel better soon...glad you can enjoy the people you are with!Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25030905.post-71442242439631705052007-12-29T17:26:00.000-06:002007-12-29T17:26:00.000-06:00Hey Abi!My CRNP prescribed Silver Sulfad, CR for t...Hey Abi!<BR/><BR/>My CRNP prescribed Silver Sulfad, CR for the itching when I had the shingles second time around. It's a topical ointment that's great for burns too. She also gave me an anti-viral which cut down on the duration and took care of most of the neuralgia.<BR/><BR/>I wish I had this stuff the first time. Cut the lesions recovery time in half. I had neuralgia for over a year in the affected nerve.<BR/>Yuk!<BR/><BR/>Take care of you.<BR/><BR/>Your friend, the cutthroat "Canasty" player.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02089651607213032025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25030905.post-88193150577902027382007-12-29T12:37:00.000-06:002007-12-29T12:37:00.000-06:00Yikes!
