I moved to a wooded area last year and spent most of the following
6 months suffering from poison ivy. Winter is over.....and now with
spring coming, I am searching the internet trying to glean
knowledge from anywhere. I am wondering why I have read nothing of
jewel weed on your site? I am anxious to try it (and know I will
get plenty of opportunity). Has anyone used it? Last year after a
couple months of pi and vaious otc meds, the dr prescribed two
courses of oral steroids,(back to back, as the first did not
control it) and topical as well. Then I found Zanfel and was able
to control the pi exposures in the following months by showering
several times daily and using the Zanfel. Also last year about two
months after the worst of the pi, I began to experience bizarre
neurological syptoms...twitching muscles, tingling skin, the
sensation of movement under the skin, weakness in some muscles and
patches of skin numbness. Does anyone know if exces sive exposure
to pi can have neurological effects? Anyone else have similar
experience?
