    Yeah mate haha the burns at the 'bends' such as at the armpit or forearm and lower bicep are a killer...I basically still can't lift my arms fully without pain because it feels like i'm pulling the skin there. Going to be interesting to see how these blisters develop...I'm still pretty much the same colour I was with the burns but the pain is slightly less now and I have more mobility. I estimate this will last another 2 weeks or so before full recovery. How long did it take for you?

      The lower bicep area where it meets the forearm is what got me, everytime I'd bend my pain I'd grimace.
      I can't remember but I think about 4-5 days it took before it was bearable. It was more the initial swelling/burn that wouldn't allow me to bend my joints properly that stung bad.

      Vitamin E is supposed to be good and cold cucumber will help sooth it

          LOOOL didn't realise that till now...yeah it actually is xD.

          Anyways it's almost 3am here so I'm gonna head to sleep.

          But I will say one thing...I will recover from this and have vengeance on the Sun for ruining my holiday. Oh yeah, Sun, I got a rematch clause mofo. PED/Radiation level testing this time. Sun cream allowed. No peak hours. TAKE THE TEST

            This is my situation exactly. The swelling has gone down now or is in the process of, and after those initial days it's becoming easier to move the joints and in general but still, the pain is there when I touch the skin and particularly the shoulders are still raw and sensitive as hell, now with the blisters...it's a waiting game. But sleep is a healer and that's what I'm going to do now...tomorrow is my final day and got a lot of **** to do and sort out.

            Gotta pick up a souvenir or three for three different girls that I got dates with hahaha...actually f#ck that only 1 of them asked for 1 and i'm thinking I'll just give it to the 1 I like more hahaha.

                  Never heard of this before. Is the article accurate?

                    Unlucky mate, haha.

                    As for my case - it's pretty frustrating at the moment to say the least. I'm simultaneously peeling while also having blisters so I am peeling off skin where the skin underneath isn't healed yet. That is leading to parts of my body being different colours, and I have these small crater type blisters all over my arms which if I peel leave light scar type marks, which I strongly hope will fade...this elephant man look isn't ****ing great though, and i'm getting frustrated of having to wear long sleeved shirts and jeans in 30 degree weather here!
