I get poison ivy - bad.  In fact, every time I get it, the swollen sores show up on every part of my body I've had it in the past.  On my butt right before a trip to Germany.  On my ear when a camper asked me what THIS plant was.  On my legs helping my dad clear the back yard at a rental unit.  On my forehead after stupidly wiping my brow with my work gloves.  I even got it you-know-where once.  Guess I had an itch.

So I went to the doctor, who prescribed Prednisone.  Oh holy hell.  The sores are going away fast as lightning, but I am one dizzy, grumpy, short tempered man at present.  Can't concentrate, can't say anything nice, impatient beyond belief.  And I've got ten more days of taking this stuff!

And it wears me out, too.  I've fallen asleep in an unexpected place every night for the last week.  At my desk, on the sofa (almost never happens), on the floor in the basement (just had to lay down a sec'), on our side porch.  I'm exhausted.

Any suggestions?
