Message: <blockquote data-quote="Taranchaloh" data-source="post: 30493" data-attributes="member: 3211"><p>Thanks to both of you. To update, this is day 3 of being flicked. I've come to the conclusion that it is better for me and for Sharloh to not handle her. She got my hands and my neck/chest with her hairs. My chest pain is barely noticeable except for every now and then. My right hand is okay. It's my left that is driving me crazy. The first day it felt like broken needles in my hand, then it went to itching, and now it's itching mixed with having tiny bumps on my hands. It's not colored or even red. Most of the time it looks like there is absolutely nothing wrong with my hand, but I can feel those little bumps and it sure is painful. I've bought everything from aloe vera to hydrocortisone cream. Nothing really works and can even make it feel worse. The only remedy I've found is to wash my hands with hot water, dry them, and let them just be until they drive me nuts again. I'll keep you posted on how long this lasts. I'm really hoping not much longer. I don't know how much more I can take this. Websites don't really say how long it lasts so I'll make sure to post about it to help any others that have been flicked.</p></blockquote><p></p>
