ITCH!!

I have the ITCH all over and it's driving me nuts. I have scratched so much in so many places that I've made sores. I was told that it's my nerves. But I was just wondering if any of you guys out there have the same problem?? Maybe it's dry skin from it being so loose, or I dunno... But I have gotten a cortosone shot, predisone pills, prescription cream that is suppose to help.. that was 3 wks ago and nothing helps.. I wake up scrathing and everywhere I scratch it leaves a bruise. Any & all comment, advice, etc will be greatly appreciated. Jo 444/414/278.5 -165.5

BENADRYL!!!!! MUDDY BATHS...ie Aveeno Oatmeal bath.... Lots of Advanced Healing Lotion - Equate makes a copy of the Vaseline Intensive Care.... QUIT scratching!!!!! Hope it gets better! Smoochies Arlies

I've been on 2 benadryl every 4 hrs forever!!!!!! It puts me to sleep, then I wake myself up digging! So then I get up and put on my Cortane-B Lotion (Dr Prescribed). I noticed I itch more when I first wake up or when I began to sweat.. Love ya, Jo

I had posion sumac awhile back and my mother in law is a nurse and she said take cool baths, put ice packs on it and i know this one sounds crazy but it helped me alot put a hair dryer on cool settings and let it blow where you are itching. Anything warm to hot makes it worse b/c it makes it swell and itch more. Hope this helps. Michelle

Have you changed laundry soap shower soap or fabric softener? These are usually the cause. Have you eaten something new or tried a new protien shake or sf drink? Try to think about anything you have done different. Lotion or perfume too. Just some thoughts....
