Thought I'd express my sympathy for the poison ivy. I've been coping with a major bout of it for the last 2 weeks too after working in my yard (I think it's EVERYWHERE in Texas (*laugh*)). But I don't have to cope with LE too, so I've been lucky (although I was concerned because the worst of it was on the arm where nodes were taken.

Am still itching, but blisters are healing and no longer weeping. So I really do feel for you. Good luck.
