Woke up this morning with a rash all over my upper body and torso.  Never had that happen before.  The only thing I can think of is maybe a combination of sun allergy and wearing a running tank that I have not worn in several years (and having it on for several hours after running ended).  

Supposed to be a day of rest, but got online and found our website and application were not up and running and had to get the Michigan IT people online and go to our colocation facility for a couple of hours.  We have it running again, but need to order some emergency parts first thing tomorrow morning.

Bad detergent? I have that issue from time to time. Did you make it to church though? This Sunday I actually felt really good, really felt the spirit for some raeson. Get a good nights sleep Maurine.

Is the rash gone?? Did you figure out what it was??

Sure wish today could have been more restful for you.

Still have the rash today. I don't think it was detergent because I would have it on a lot more of my body than I do. Couldn't sleep for a long time last night because of the itching - so didn't wake up to run today.

I did make it to church yesterday though. I saw issues before church, but decided not to deal with them until afterwards. So - I got 3 out of my 4 day weekend free.

That is weird?!? How is it today?

Still very itchy on Monday and I didn't sleep much because of it, so am really drowsy.

Just took an oatmeal bath hoping it will help calm down the skin some. Now workout today - too tired and itchy.

Do you have any other symptoms- cold/flu like? Last week did you have a fever with your ills? Is it flat, smooth, connected, hives?

I am itching just thinking about it.

Sorry- Dr. Mommy Nurse Marion always pops out with mysterious rashes ;) I have become some what of a professional ;)
