I had another day of irritation. I didn't sleep well at all last night; in fact I spent most of the night trying to scratch these stupid electrodes off. I ended up calling M in the middle of the night crying my eyes out because the pain was just so bad. He told me to remove clothing try a sports bra, take a Benadryl and try to get at least some sleep and to come straight to his office in the morning. I ended up wearing scrubs and my top still didn't cover the stupid stickers. Not to mention the stupid device kept falling off the waist of my scrub pants. Perhaps I should wear a turtleneck tomorrow maybe that will hide the stupid stickers.


Turns out I'm allergic to whatever brand of sticker they used, here I was thinking the tape was irritating me, nope it's the stickers which caused a rash. M pulled off all the tape, put Kenalog around the stickers where the irritation was happening and we left the tape off my entire shift and before I left he put more of the sensitive tape around it. I seem to be a lot less itchy with the Benadryl and cream. I still desperately want a shower; like nothing would make me happier than peeling off all the tape and stickers and taking a nice hot shower. Unfortunately I still get to suffer another night and another half day. I just hope I can get some sleep tonight.


Hugs to everyone
