Bandages.
Just mentioning these, because they seem to actually be helping this burn (which is huge, so it's still not 100% helpful, but that's not the company's fault).
Where it was blistered, it was fine, for the most part - those thickened, and acted like bubble wrap (until I accidentally burst the top one Thursday night). I have six or seven of these bandages on me, and have ordered more - this is when I'm thankful for Amazon prime. I also ordered a liquid bandage spray, just in case. I temporarily tried one I had for the cats, but it wouldn't spray, so I spilled a bit of it on the pieces of skin that weren't healing, they were just raw (sorry to be so gross). It helped to start the healing process there, but then I accidentally knocked that off the bedside cabinet, so I'm glad I had the other one on the way.
Anyway, these seem to be helping. I'll post otherwise if they end up not helping, or making things worse. I've been sleeping a lot, but today (Friday), I only slept six hours initially, and that was after taking Tylenol PM. I then went back to sleep until around 8pm, but I hope that means that healing has occurred, so my body isn't needing quite so much rest. Showering makes me tired again, though - just prepping for it, trying to keep the supposedly water-proof things on, and then dealing with anything afterwards, if they need fixing, or attaching another bandage of some sort - by then, I'm all hot and tired, and just come back and sit down, until I get back up to make tea. I bought a huge bag of juicing carrots last weekend, and I started on those yesterday. That should help, too. Especially since I can't get out to the store right now.
Also: emu oil is magic for helping initially, and I'll use it again when I can remove these patches.
