Pityriasis Rosea
Well before I tell you about my new disease I'll tell you about my other drama. My cell phone went swimming today.
You can figure the rest out yourself. There is still a dim hope that it will come back to life but I'm not holding out much hope. I'm using my old cell for now...not sure what I'll do next yet.
Okay I have this new disease. It's called Pityriasis Rosea.It's pretty much this ugly rash on my chest and back that is supposed to last six to nine weeks that my doctor says I got just because I'm unlucky. I'm feeling calmer now but I was p-i-s-s-ed when I found out. It's effin summer and I have a rash. Are you kidding me?

Hey, how's your rash going now?
I actually got mine 2-3 weeks ago and it seems to be at it's peak now. Did the tanning help? It's so absolutely irritating, especially at night, I just take Benadryl to help me fall asleep and plus I'm going to the beach this week (which will be absolutely horrifying for others but hopefully the tanning will work?). If your PR is over now, it would give me a lot of faith!
I was actually really lucky and it dissppeared around the 4th of july. tanning did not help me...but because of my fair skin i put sunscreen on which seemed to irritate it more. maybe without? I don't know.
