My faith in the medical field is starting to wane. When it seemed like my condition was beginning to abate on a course of steroids, after the pills were finished, my malady began to surface once more. Frankly, I'm disappointed that the medication only masked my symptoms for a while. And I'm not entirely convinced that the doctor got my diagnosis exactly right.
I'm uncomfortable, I'm itchy, and I'm starting to look like Quasimodo...at least, my hands do, anyway.
And the timing couldn't be any more perfect. For the next 3 months, I will be doing a lot of traveling to different rotation sites and various residency interviews. At a time when personality, board scores, and looks are taken into consideration, I am deathly afraid that I might end up going into one of these interviews all covered in band aids and looking like a psychotic leper.
I need help. And I need it, fast. :(

Hang in there buddy. Sorry things are rough :(
Seriously acupuncture w/aveeno baths and a clean diet helped me alot
Thanks Vic, preciate the commiseration. S&P, love to, but on a med student's salary, not sure if I can swing it, especially with the new problems with the car.
Ya I know - the Aveeno baths though are a cheap first step
