Itchy & Bitchy
Okay, well two days ago I went and got my first UV-less tan. I signed up for four so that I can be a little tan before I slip into a dress or get pictures taken for graduation. It's also supposed to be better than shocking your body with an entirely-in-the-sun-for-the-first-time weekend... you have a much slimmer chance of getting fried on your first weekend out and that also reduces that chance of skin cancer.
Anyways, It's supposed to be a burnless, UV ray-less tan. I did it, and it itched a bit. Yesterday I was still itching a bit and then last night it was so bad that I probably only slept for a good hour. It's all over my back, legs, and arms, and it's not so much a tickle-itch, but a needle-ping-itch and it kills. So, I got up at 4:45 and took a cold shower, but it didn't help. I tried lotion, and it still didn't help. This is where I finally fell asleep for a little bit, and then it was off to work and school.
School Sucked. Mentally, it's been an okay day. Physically, I'm miserable. It's like some bad torture treatment and I feel like a toddler who cant sit still. I ended up getting Benadryl spray and it helped a little, but not enough. I called the tanning place and they said that either I have dry skin (which I do) or it may be my medication. So, I called my pharmacist and it turns out that two of my meds react badly to the photosynetic light, or whatever it's called. :( He also said that I should be taking benadryl orally because it affects my whole body, where the spray only affects on-the-spot. Oh, and I also burned a little bit, but not too bad. I guess we'll see how it goes. (itch, itch, itch)
