Anyone know of any home remedies for poison ivy

Home remedies for poison ivy?
Anyone know of any home remedies for poison ivy? Someone recommened using facial astringent?

Additional Details
I have four patches of it on my big toes and top& side of my feet…and trails of bubbles on my toes, legs, wrists and fingers. I’ve been using Band-Aid Anti-itch gel and Betamethasone Dipropionate cream as well as cleansing the areas with facial astringent. I have the MethylPREDNISolone tablets (generic for Medrol pack) which I haven’t taken yet. When I had a poison ivy breakout in june my dr said to use the cream and if it got worse to take the tablets. I’m also going to try the Aveeno oat bath.

I actually took my son to the doctor for treatment. He plays soccer and had games coming up and to ease his discomfort I took him to the doctor and asked for the Medrol Dose Pack – or Prednisolone (generic version). The doctor also told me that lightly spraying Lysol in the bath water will kill any bacteria that may cause infection. We also added an oatmeal bath solution & of course applied calomine lotion. But what really dried it up & quickly (within a day) was the Medrol Dose pack, which if you have insurance is quite inexpensive. I paid $9.00 for the dose pack, atarax, and triaminicolone cream.

Dan Gilbert : lebron james cleveland cavaliers

Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has written an open letter to Cavs fans, slamming LeBron James for his national television appearance announcing his decision to leave.

str8fwd comment:

“Hey Gilbert… I heard that Kevin Bacon has a player for you from the movie, ‘The Air up there’ so you can feel like a REAL slave owner”.

The sarcastic “chosen one” comment reeks of “right-winged” anger after a humiliating loss. LeBron owes the Cavs NOTHING after taking them further than they’ve ever gone before… and he owes Gilbert even less after making him MILLION$$$ over the past 7 years. It was time for him to go. Simple as that.

Emmy nominations 2010 (The Good Boomer’s version)


“Overall excellent nominations throughout with very few complaints,” says our Emmy expert Chris “Boomer” Beachum, who gives us his take on Emmy’s good, bad and ugly results. Earlier, we posted the views of Rob Licuria. Now let’s hear from Boomer:

? THE GOOD.  Some very pleasant surprises for people waiting a long while (Connie Britton, Kyle Chandler, Matthew Fox, Elizabeth Mitchell, January Jones, Christina Hendricks). Some very pleasant omissions for people and shows that had overstayed their welcome (Sally Field, Holly Hunter, Kiefer Sutherland, Sandra Oh, Chandra Wilson, Charlie Sheen, Jeremy Piven, “Weeds,” “Family Guy,” “Entourage”).

The American soccer team has overcome tough opponents and horrible officiating to make the 2010 World Cup final 16. Well done.

Landon donovan goal world cup

The United States advanced in the World Cup on Wednesday with a critical goal in stoppage time. With just minutes remaining in the game, Landon Donovan knocked in a goal to put the United States up for good. Scroll down to watch.

The victory ended Slovenia’s World Cup trip, and the United States will learn the identity of their next opponent Wednesday afternoon, when Group D is finally sorted out. Landon donovan goal world cup

The USA missed chance after chance, plus had yet another goal waved off, but Landon Donovan finally put the ball in the net in the 91st minute against Algeria to send the USA on to the next round.

Great work by Tim Howard to start the break, and by Jozy Altidore for continuing it.

My heart should start beating again any time now, hopefully in time for the U.S. to play again on Saturday.
