Hello everyone,
I was out hiking this weekend and the bugs are biting. As most of you may or may not know, I have Lymphedema in my left arm and hand. So getting bug bites is not a good thing. This is also true if your Lymphatic systems is compromised. Well, the bugs bit me and my left arm where I have the LE and the bite, swelled, was very red, itched and the swelling was spreading quickly. The right arm, where I was also bit, was red, swollen and itched, but not nearly as bad. I have a good doctor who told me because my left arm is compromised due to the LE the left arm is having a hard time fighting off the reaction, that is why it is soooooo bad. So she prescribed Benadryl and also Benadryl cream. She told me do not and I repeat do not use neosporin cream as that is doing some horrible things to people. Did not know this. So know I do and so do you. We threw all ours away and I suggest you do the same, who needs problems. Anyway, I am starting my regimen and hopefully it will help so my LE arm does not go crazy and get huge on me. Should have done this ASAP as soon as the bug did his thing. I tell everyone all the time what to do, I should listen to what I preach.
Now start carrying Benadryl and Benadryl cream with you all the time in case this happens to you, you will be prepared.
Sincerely,
Sherry
