UGH, that sucks! I don't have any personal experience with poison ivy myself (*knocks on wood*), but my SO has gotten it several times and he always uses jewel weed (http://www.hbci.com/~wenonah/hydro/jewelwed.htm) to clear it up. We have a little grove of trees near our apartment where both poison ivy and jewel weed grow (they tend to grow near each other in the wild), so every time he gets P.I. he goes out to pick the jewel weed and then crushes it up to form a paste.
Sounds like your anti-itch gel is doing the trick, but just figured I'd mention this as a possibility too. Hope it clears up soon!
