Will Run For Ice Cream

Yep, nail polish remover.. when the Dr's office called me back yesterday and told me to use nail polish remover ahem 'down there', even the receptionist passing along the Dr's advice thought it was insane. But can you believe it worked? Oh, I'm not well. And yes, I kept myself along with Hubby awake most of the night scratching, but I'm not any worse.

I bet you didn't see that coming did you? At this point, I'm about ready to try anything. So off I go with my bottle of nail polish remover. At first swipe, I thought maybe it was going to help. Two hours later, I'm back on the phone with the Dr's office, asking, begging, pleading to see if there is anything I can do to stop this intense itching. So where am I with this upcoming marathon that is in 11 days? Currentl...
