I'm with you, Outdoorsman. I stopped applying on Sunday after 27 days (couldn't bring myself to do 28). I'm bleeding, peeling, crusting, sore. I use tylenol PM and sleep okay, but I think I scratch or something overnight because I wake up with blood and swelling. I'm waiting for the quick recovery I've heard about!! I feel for you having to work outdoors. I've gone out running a couple of times, but I take advil first since the bouncing hurts my face. I stay out of the sun which sounds like it's not an option for you. Good luck. We're on the downside of the hill.
