Sunday, May 17, 2009 at 09:44 PMit is your body's reaction to the burn...take your temperature, and some pain/fever reliever. Drink plenty of fluids...If your temperture is high and/or the pain fever reliever doesn't seem to help, a trip to the emergency room may be warranted...I am not a doctor, but know that sun burn can be serious. Please, if you feel too uncomfortable go to the emergency room.

sun poisoning
Vanessa
Sunday, May 24, 2009 at 05:37 PMHi, I was at the beach yesterday all day with my boyfriend and his family. It was mostly cloudy all day but if I had known that I could have still gotten burned I would have put on sunblock. That was just my ignorance. Anyways, I woke up this morning and I already knew I had a sunburn, but I was really scared when I noticed blisters. It made me feel better reading your expertise. Your tips really helped me out. Thanks a lot!

sun poisoning

Ten years ago I return home after swimming with my girls. That night my body burn, itch and sting as if bugs was on my body. My face, lips and eyes was swollen. For months I couldn't even sit on the porch in the shade without my skin stinging. I was tested for lupus which was and still negative. Doctors said I had sun poisoning and give me steriods to clear up my skin. Now I can go out but I am cover with 70 SPF sunblock and long sleeves. If I don't wear long sleeves my arms blisters up. What's wrong? Can this be repaired?

Sun Poisoning
Charred in the Yard
Monday, June 29, 2009 at 08:26 AMI spent the day reading outside yesterday, i was in the sun less than an hour and a half, but I still ended up with the worst sunburn i've ever had. My legs are swollen and it hurts to walk, it feels like my muscles are burnt! I read your article and got a big cup of ice water and filled a zip lock baggie w/ ice. I can't tell you how much relief i've gotten just from moving the "icepack" around my legs! I wish I had read this last night!
Thank you so much!

Sun poisoning without sunburn or rash?
Angel
Monday, June 29, 2009 at 10:21 AMIn 1997 I was vacationing in Mexico in August (I wouldn't suggest it for anyone). I took extreme care not to get sunburned using sunblock, hats, and covering up. And that worked--no sunburn. But one morning I woke up and my face was swollen and large sacks of fluid were hanging under my eyes. I went to a doctor in town and he took one look at me and said, "sun poisoning." He gave me a strong antihistimine (I slept for about 16 hours) and told me to stay out of the sun completely. Ever since then I can't seem to tolerate heat at all, especially sun makes me weak and nauseated, no burns however. Am I allergic to the sunlight? I do take anti-depressants as I did back in '97. Have you ever heard of this kind of reaction? Angel
