Thanks guys. I'm hoping some of these will cool the burn and stop the shivering.

Aloe for sure and some anti-inflammatories. I am white as hell and burn through 50 + and I keep my aloe vera gel in the fridge so its lovely and cooling when I put it on

So sorry for you, sunburn sucks hard.

Calamine lotion is also good. I get really bad heat rash as well as being fair and burning easily and covering myself in calamine lotion then washing it off once its dried in a cool bath feels so good.

A lot of great advice here. I went fishing about a week ago and got completely fried. I found a lot of relief in Aloe Vera Gel, and Ibprofen. Took about 2/3 says of pain but eventually got better. I was able to go fishing again yesterday, but this time I actually wore sunscreen. Lol. Lesson learned. I'm sorry you're in pain darling. I know it's miserable trying to sleep. Hope it gets better soon!

I took advantage of the Irish sun too on Saturday. I had Aloe Gel which was great but they also do a product called Aloe 1st which is a spray and gives instant relief. I use it for everything from midgey bites to sore throat. We are up for more good weather so enjoy

My aloe gel lives in the fridge for emergencies. Good stuff.

Thanks for all the fab advice. Just took a cool oatmeal bath and it really has cooled down the burn amazingly. Getting some Aloe off my aunt in a bit so that should help too. Thanks again everyone!
