Sorry to belabor the allergy thing but…
Question:
HELP ME! I can’t stand the itching! I’m not going to have a face left before too long. Does anyone have any good ideas to curb itching? It is VERY frustrating and annoying and I don’t know what to do. Thanks Nina
Poor Woman, you sound like I did after I was prescribed vicadin. Cold Cold Cold water running over the area used to help when I was a kid..it’s supposed to both deaden the nerves a bit and wash away whatever allergen is actually on the skin. Conversely, David (my fiance) always recommends that run hot water as hot as I can stand it over my itches saying it will initially increase the histimine production but then wash it all away and Igues there won’t be any left to be made so soon afterwards….personally I prefer cold. Antihistimines and hydrocortisone have at many times become my best friends, we are so inseparable at the worst times. Right now as a matter of fact, I have a horrid rash of some sort on each thigh and it’s been cold water and hydrocortisone ointment to control it somewhat. Otehr than that all I can recommend is white gloves and sitting on your hands…. Best wishes to you, I do understand how horrid it can be…. Tricia (the first one)

Do these itchy rashes you mention have anything to do w/ endo? I’ve just had another recurrence of my lower back rash. about an inch in diameter and raised w/ tiny, itchy blisters. Haven’t had it in a while. Might be related to weird hormones going ons… PMSing for about 3 weeks now. Big, sore, aching boobs, insomnia, missed my last "mini post hyst period". Feeling AHHHH yucky!!! Anyone have boobs getting bigger and sorer as time progresses? IS THIS FROM TOO MUCH PROGESTERONE??? Benedryl insect bite stuff helps even though it’s not a bite. AAck…need a tranquilizer! XOMichka

Oh my God I sympathize with that!!!! The boobs thing is probably from the progesterone…as is the PMSy thing…I went through that the first 3 months or so on Micronor….funny thing you should ask if it’s from too much progesterone..makes me fearful that all of a sudden my body is done accepting my Micronor….that thought terrifies me!!!! It’s the best thing that’s happened to my endo in ages…. I also need a tranquilizer….(see Itchy Trishy Update for more details) me (scratch Scratch) – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Do these itchy rashes you mention have anything to do w/ endo?

Hey Itchy, I guess we have a new nickname for you now! My hubby talks about a perverted underground magazine from back in his hippie days called "Itchy and Scratchy". (David can be "Scratchy"…hehehe)! All kidding aside, I really hope you’re feeling better by now. Do you think it is an allergy? With the fever it almost sounds like chicken pox or measles or something! Have you tried something like Aveno bath? Pardon my ignorance, but what is Micronor? I’m not on any hormone therapy right now, but feel like I’m stuck in some PMS time warp from hell…no period, boobs hurt and are so swollen i could drive down to the Tanga Lounge tonight and make enough money dancing to pay for my next surgery!!! Hoping you find some relief SOON, poor baby! XOMichelleA
