Okay, here is the deal..for the past 3+ months, I (24), my mom (42), both my brothers (7, 20), my sister (12), my cousin (15), and my brother's girlfriend (19) have had an intense rash that we have dubbed "itchy scratchy disease". Basically our stomachs, arms, and thighs (occasionally boobs and buttocks) are covered in some times very tiny bumps, almost like baby mosquito bites..but they bumps aren't always apparent. Sometimes there are no bumps, but the itching does not subside-EVER. Heat seems to intensify it. Lotion, benadryl, antibiotics, and scratching produce little to no relieve.

It is NOT an allergic reaction. We do not wash the girlfriend's or the cousins clothes. The boys use a different soap than the girls. And it doesn't cover our entire bodies.

Oldest brother and the girlfriend have been to the doctor. Eczema (which is not contagious, and the treatment did not affect this) was the first diagnosis. Nope. Allergic reaction was the second diagnosis, like I said topical creams and lotions produce only slight relieve for a very minimal time and we don't use the same detergents, soaps, or deodorants. So again, nope.

I am open to any and all suggestions!! We've considered scabies, but our's looks nothing like the pictures associated with that disease. Me, my brother and my sister all had severe cases of chicken pox when we were smaller, so that's not it either.

When someone emails me a .docx file, I download and try to open and it just opens a .docx icon in my Microsoft Picture Manager. When I right click>open with>Word2007, it works like it should. How can I correct this to automatically open with Word (or the appropriate program) when I push open?

My brother had a really bad rash on his hands and a mild one on his back, they both itched a lot. He went to the doctor and diagnosed him with eczema. I KNOW it isn't contagious, but now four of us that live with him and his girlfriend all have the same mild rash as on his back and itching. His rash has since spread down his arms and across his stomach. Again, I know eczema isn't contagious but is there a rash that looks similar to it that IS?

The rash is just very small red bumps, not even as big as a mosquito bite, no clusters, no blisters, no cracking skin..but itches like CRAZY and all the time. It isn't on face, heads, feet, hands, or bottoms. Any ideas?

My 12 year old sister has to dress as her "favorite" book character for school. We're wanting to do a homemade costume but are short on ideas! She has blonde hair, blue eyes, and has to wear this all day long so nothing too outrageous!

This doesn't have to be really be her "favorite", just something to get the point across and fairly cheap to make!:)

These three businesses are hiring locally, well 30 miles away, and I'm wondering if the pay will be worth the drive or of they all start out at minimum wage? And help is appreciated. Thanks.

I am the maid of honor in my friend's wedding in late April. So far she has had 3 showers and I haven't been invited to any. I thought the maid of honor attended all the Bride's functions?

I have a blackberry curve 8330, i love it! but my contract is up at the end of this month and I have wanted an iphone for quite sometime..so is the iphone4 worth the extra $100 or should I just get the 3GS?

I think I have encountered shin splints from the standing. it is not something I am used to and I was not fully prepared and had on inadequate shoes. Now, I've taken how baths and tried to stay seated as much as possible. Even though it's monday afternoon I can still hardly walk to my bathroom about 3 feet away without holding onto the wall the whole way. Is there any treatment or am I doing something wrong?

I went to walmart yesterday and walked around for about 30 minutes and actually felt better-now I really feel worse.

PLEASE help!!

Okay, so we all know that the Colts and the Saints had "superbowl 44 winners" shirts/hats/cups/posters/etc..etc..etc..so what do the losing time (the colts this time) do with those things??

I've missed one tree hill that past two weeks, I moved and am waiting on my cable to be installed. Also, don't suggest I watch it online because my internet is not installed yet either. I'm at the library doing this!

Most thorough answer gets 10 points! :)

I have a RCA brand universal remote for a Magnavox TV/VCR. NONE of the codes work and neither does the code search function. I tried to find the menu on my tv manually, but there is NO menu button. (how ridiculous is that.) Anyway, my tv will only go to channels 3 & 14. And since I have cable this is quite frustrating.

Any suggestions??

(other than buy a new tv!)

I am doing a report for school.

i need to know what kind of degree a person must have to be a high school football coach and a history teacher. i need to know what your major and minor would be.

Thank you!!

I can't find it and can't find a diagram for it. Detailed information, please!

Thanks :)

I missed it. I just want to know who was eliminated. Thanks! :)

We got a new XBox 360 for Christmas and bought Guitar Hero III. The reader on the game has scratched the game so bad that it is now unreadable. Therefore unplayable. Should I contact XBox about this or just buy a new game and hope it doesn't happen again?

Thanks.

Funny, inspirational, wise....just wanna read some thoughts.
