Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
if you have been intimate with someone regularly and they don't have any symptoms (look on the hands and wrists, between toes etc) then yes, chances are its NOT scabies.
Why not do this...rather than sell your ticket, maybe make an appointment to see someone else and get another opinion. Rashes can be tough to diagnose, and its really tough when one can't see the rash and is just relying on a description.
only sell your ticket as a last resort. I'm hoping the best for you.
The Dermatologist that my insurance covers is out until monday, what are the chances! I appreciate all the advice from you all, truly. So, worst case scenario, my unbearable itching is still present come Wednesday...Should I go? Is there a roo clinic in case something goes wrong?
UPDATE Doctor called me and gave me my blood test results, said my kidneys, thyroid, blood cell count, glucose etc all checked out just fine. Told her the 25mg hydroxyzine wasn't working, she told me to take 2 every night instead of 1 AND the potential good news! Starting tomorrow morning, I am going on oral steroids every morning for 6 days(UNTIL WEDNESDAY!) to hopefully clear everything up! I know nothing about oral steroids or what they can do to help, but it certainly brings me hope!

Hi Joey,
I am glad to hear the good news. Don't hesitate to call your Dr. back if the new regimen is not working. If you talk to her (or her nurse) do ask her if there is anything topical she could prescribe you and if she still thinks its scabies ask about her calling in a prescription for some 5% permethrin ointment for you.
So if you are still itching and it's time to go... you may be trying to decide if you should go or not. Things to consider when making the decision: 1.You have already been living with this itch for a few months haven't you? I do not think Roo will make any anxiety worse if that is the cause of your itch. 2. If you are concerned that the heat may aggravate your itch, then remember you can go to the air conditioned cinema tent and get some coolness and get some sleep.
