I also have a severe allergy to adhesives. A doctor in the past prescribed a steroid-based nasal spray for me to dab on my skin in the area where I needed to apply an adhesive patch (the patch was to deliver medication). I don’t remember the name of the spray, and this was back in 2004 so it would be one of the older ones. It completely stopped me from having any reaction to the adhesive, and my understanding was that it didn’t have the side effects of systemic steroids because it was applied to my skin.

I hope things improve for you soon! Your recordings kept me going during a tough time in my own life. I was having a terrible time finishing graduate school and loved listening to your librivox and children’s book recordings when I needed a break. I check in on your blog occasionally and I wanted to let you know that you have many admirers cheering you on!
Congrats on becoming a grandma! I hope Tiny Babe is a delightful distraction!

Thank you so much!]]> Kara- so sorry to hear of your troubles. Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your readings. I became a fan after hearing you on Librivox. Am enjoying your reading of The Hobbit with all Henry’s comments. Thank you so much!

I have had a couple of severe hive attacks, and they are awful! But try hard not to scratch, because I did at night, when not very awake, and the place infected. Gave me bad cellulitis and I barely avoided the hospital. I started wearing gloves at night and keeping a cold washcloth wrapped around some ice nearby. My dh and I hope you will be better, soon!
