One of life's lesson....NEVER use calamine lotion for...

Oh my God, I can't imagined what you went thru. Yes I have a story for you. I have OCD - I like things clean and in their place. One day while taking a shower the fan that is in the wall was unplugged. So I thought unplugged no electricity right? WRONG! I open the fan to clean it - you know kill two birds with one stone LOL LOL LOL well needless to say I had a big shock. Thank God I'm able to laugh about it now. Plus I learn something don't touch anything but the water in the shower! LOL LOL LOL

LOL! I hope that you are able to laugh about this. That really is the best thing to do now that it has been done! I think that we all do stupid things sometimes. I remember one time I was welding something together. I noticed after I had started that it wasnt quite how I wanted it. So I grabbed it to try to move it a bit. I ended up with pretty nasty blisters on my fingers. I knew better, I really did. But I just didnt think it through before I did it! I hope you are feeling much better now that you have the antibiotics!

LMFAO.... sorry but i can't help but laugh.. But well it does make me remember something. Once while cooking i had to attend a phone. When i came back i saw that the dish was on fire. My immediate response was to put water on the fire. I had completely forgotten that you can't put out oil fires with water. What results was that the flames suddenly leaped sky high and i got several minor burns on my hand. Thank god that was the worst of it and the whole kitchen didn't catch fire. Smart people do sometimes make stupid mistakes

Everytime one of my electronic equipment has something broken, I try to fix it myself. And everytime I say to myself "You should stop, you know you're going to make it worse". But I never learn. And I also consider myself fairly intelligent. I guess it's our incapacity of admitting to ourselves that we can't do and make everything work, so we really need to learn it the hard way :P

Bad thing is those are the things that we remember the most. I remember when we bought our electrical fence box and hooked it up. I never read the directions. I knew that if you touched it that it would shock you but I did not know that if you pulled grass that was touching it that it would throw you backwards. I saw grass on it and squatted down to pull it and when I touched it I was literally thrown backwards. I remember when my daughter was 4 we went to someones house and they had a huge electrical fence box in their house in the floor. And my daughter went to the bathroom and started screaming that the black box bit her. She knows to this day that those things bite bad!!!

I would like to quote GB Shaw here: " A life spent doing mistakes is not more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing" This doesn't of course mean you need to commit mistakes all the time. Whenever something goes wrong, I say this out loud and this gives me some positive energy. Please don't be so harsh on yourself! It's okay to do some not-so-smart things once in a while! ;)

Once I lived with this couple and we were out on the patio and theres this big beetle and it looked a lot like a stag beetle when I was growing up and they were everywhere because I lived in the woods. It was similar but different because it had these two horns and because stag beetles never bite I just assumed it was ok. My roommate was all freakin out so me trying to be a showoff just picks it up puts it on my palm but eventually it locked its two 'horns' on the skin of own of my fingers and the GRIP of the beetle, let me tell you!! So my roommate is freakin out EVEN MORE because now the beetle is stuck on me and Im trying to pull it off but it was so tight. OMG,lol, me and her boyfriend had to take a fork to pry his jaws of life open. It was pinching me for a good ten minutes but I hardly felt anything after we got it off. Her boyfriend thought I was crazy afterwards and his girlfriend probably had a story to tell (didn't encourage any appreciation of nature, thats for sure, lol), they were both from New York City.

I hope now that this ordeal is done you are able to laugh at it now. I have never ever thought of doing something like that. For yeast infections my mom told me yogurt helps it. I have done this on a few occasions and it cleared up.

the sad part about this is that you did it because you were short on money and needed medical treatment. no one should have to go without medical treatment or compromise because they are short on money. i hope you feel better really soon and i am sorry you had to go through all of that.

Too much take of anti biotic would really caused Feminine itch (yeast). That's what i have read on the internet. But if you used Calamine lotion there, ohh my, very bad. I am sure you have learned your lesson about this incident. What i do know about Calamine is good to battle skin bacteria. But used only on facial skin. I used a calamine cream for my face which battles oiliness on my face and it was really a good stuff. But i haven't heard about putting calamine cream there . If you would take anti biotic, it should be properly Advised by your Doctor. Happy mylotting!
