• Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - STRESS RASH?

Here is what I hope to get accomplished tomorrow:

About 45 minutes of science with each "student". (We really need to catch up!)

Three or four loads of laundry, including my bed linens.

Catching up on ALL of homeschool.

Cleaning all sinks and toilets.

Working on the nightmare under my daughter's bed!

I have a question, has anyone ever broken out in a rash due to stress?

Thanks,

Melanie

Yes, I had a stress rash - when I was about to go off to college and my family (missionaries) were going to be leaving the country 3 days later - I was feeling very stressed out to be dropped off at a college where I knew no one and be left alone in the country by my family who would be miles and miles and miles away. I broke out in a terrible rash and went to the dr. He gave me a pill - I think it ended up being a relaxer or somethng - or like benadryl (my dad said it was a placebo because I was just stressed out!) and my irregular heart beat was really acting up and they ran tests on it to make sure I was ok. I had no other symptoms - other than my rash! So yes, it can happen!
