brief synopsis of my day yesterday…. went to work, got home and was being productive. cleaned a bunch of shit and then planned to do more after i showered…. in the shower, as soon as the water hit my (moderate, not even bad) sunburn i was getting insanely itchy. so i hurried up and finished, assuming it would go away once i was dry….. it did not. it got so much worse and just kept getting worse. my roommate put lotion all over my back and it did not help whatsoever. at this point it was so bad i was genuinely tweaking and rolling around on the floor trying to get it to stop. i put more lotion on to no effect, put a hairdryer on it which made it worse, and ended up alternating between hugging a wet t shirt as tight as i could around my body, and sitting as still as possible in front on a fan. apparently what was going on is called ‘hell’s itch’ and yeah it was definitely hellish and itchy. truly words can not describe how horrible this was. i had no thoughts besides how itchy i was feeling. it would come in waves and i had to keep alternating my strategies because they would only work for like 3 mins before doing nothing. so i ended up taking hella ibuprofen and benadryl and basically immediately passed out around 5pm to wake up at 9am. i’m fine now but holy fuck…….. never experienced anything like that in my life. it was actually agonizing and now everytime i feel slightly itchy i get so scared 😭
