It’s been five years since my diagnosis. Today the itch is severe. I remember sometime ago I mentioned to my Hepatologist that the itch comes with goose bumps or chills, he gave me an answer. Right now nothing makes sense. I itch and itch and get shivers, goose bumps, chills. Does this happen to you? Why?

Hi. I used to get the itch snd the bumps before I was diagnosed but since taking my ‘itchy and scratchy’ tablets certirizine. I no longer get it. If I forget to take the tablet then the itching comes back. I was told that it’s the bile that rises to the skin that makes you itch not sure how true that is.
I don't get goose bumps or chills before medication I used to get so hot but I think that may have been the activity of trying to get to the itch.😂😂
