I did some spring weeding and have developed poison ivy, sumac or oak (not sure which), and I'm very sensitive to them. I always need a shot plus oral treatment to get rid of it. Can we RNY'ers have IM and oral steroids? If I cant treat this with prescription meds I will never make it. Please advise.

I've done steroids without any problems.  I don't know why you couldn't use them.  Sorry about the poison ivy my boys are highly allergic to it.

Yes, there is no reason for RNY folks to not have steriods.
