[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - last time I got it, I was on both oral and topical prescription cream and I was miserable.  I finally got desperate and bought this ridiculously expensive stuff called zanfel.  It is actually a scrub.  I was so doubtful it would work.  But after I used it I was significantly better.  I could sleep for the first time.  I had to use it twice a day for a few days, but it truly worked for me.

It’s almost $50 a tube.  But I was so miserable it was worth it.  [/quote]My DH has horrible reactions to poison ivy and he swears by this stuff.  It doesn't stop him from reacting, but it helps.  He usually needs a course of oral steroids when exposed and if the steroid course is not long enough he'll flare up again even worse.  His whole body will erupt in a horrible, oozing rash.  It can take him a couple of months to recover fully from an exposure.[/quote]

I resisted the zanfel becuase it is both insanely expensive, but also has labeling that makes it look like it would be marketed on late night tv - but it does work[/quote]
