i have an incredible rash from a drug reaction

As long as you are sending healing prayers our way, would you mind including me too? I was taking an anti-depressant, Lexapro, which is never supposed to cause any problems whatsoever. However, I developed a severe and incredibly itchy rash on my scalp, back, and chest. So, I went off of Lexapro in 3 days instead of the recommended 6-8 weeks, and the rash seemed to stop spreading. The dermatologist gave me a steroidal ointment to be applied at bedtime, and then covered with a wet T-shirt (no wolf whistles please) for the rest of the night. Unfortunately, my rash is actually still spreading - now on my arms and legs, and the steroidal ointment is making me increasingly dizzy. So, I'm heading back to the dermatologist tomorrow, and will also request a recommendation for an allergist.

In the meantime, back at the ranch with Ed, he is certainly holding his own and showing some small improvements. He opens one or both eyes most (but not all) days, jerks his leg when I touch either his right or left leg, and seems to be more "active" - moving head to right and left. Still doesn't track with his eyes or do anything on command, so I'm still practicing being patient. About up to a "C-" I think!
