entity of itch

I have this thing on my right arm that seems to have gone from an episode of The Itchy And Scratchy Show to Infection in a span of three days. Adam helped me apply ultra antibiotic ointments and a large adhesive bandage. I may take it to a doctor to see if I require oral antibiotics. I scratched so hard that I ripped off a mole. Sigh.

Itchy thing solved!

It's poison ivy. Fun! The pain doctor nurse wrote me a prescription for prednisone, gave me some topical itch remedy samples, and told me to go home and take antihistamines. Friends then suggested extreme heat to draw histamines to the surface. I'm going to have a shower. Yaugh.

Cerebral Palsy Comorbidity links and such

Via Facebook:

So, anyway, people seem to be asking over and over and over "Does CP cause X? Is X linked to CP?" and I keep posting websites as replies and I don't know who actually reads them...

Also, does anyone have full access to articles from sites like Medscape, NCBI, etc?
