Poison ivy-medrol steroid pack

Hannah

So I've got poison ivy. Lots of it! It's all over my pubic bone, my inner thigh, my shin, my wrists, my back, butt, shoulders, & just woke up to it on my cheek. Im 20 weeks today & doctor Rx'd a weeks course of pills in the form of a Medrol steroid pack. (6,5,4,3,2,1 pills each day sort of thing). It's been okayed by my OB & my primary care doctor but I've read enough online to scare me to death. Should I just suck it up & suffer through. I'd love to hear from someone who has actually used this & has experience.
