I called my OB's office on Friday about the rash. They said to try Benadryl at night and either Zyrtec or Claritin during the day. Benadryl is only good for 4-6 hours and the others are 24 hour pills. That was frustrating, but I tried the Benadryl overnight on Friday and woke up about the same. I took Zyrtec Saturday morning and not much changed. I haven't taken anything since then. The rash is really weird because the itchiness seems to come and go. I have bumpy skin that isn't noticeable unless you look for it closely, and it does not itch all the time. Of course, when I scratch, it gets worse. I have had it on my hands now, too, including my palms. I still have no idea what it is, but I'm not sure it is bad enough to go to the doctor for it. I guess I'll just wait it out and see if it improves.
My blood sugars have been really weird since the rash started. They may put me on Humulin N during the day, too. That is the one I take before bed that works all night. If I have it right, I would take that plus the ones before meals. What's one more shot when you already give yourself four?
Big day coming up Saturday - I've been looking forward to this one since I was 6. Hope it is a good day - I'm going to eat a big piece of cake whether my doc likes it or not. I don't think that will make the baby huge, and it will be worth it!
