Mycophenilate and other issues

[Bfp1]

Just asking - does anyone else have intolerable itching in feet. Especially if slightly warm. The sort where you want to rip off your skin. I do have diabetes and variable sugars. But mostly less than 10 now.

Trying to taper but many increasing pain spots. Arms neck back shoulders. So tired.

Last question mycophenolate. I am on 1g a day. Effects? Anyone have any tips or experience? Ears hurt and jaws now also. Not quite as strong as I was.

Love to you all. You are a great community xx

Would suggest feet problems issues are down to diabetes.

Hi, itchy feet prob very dry skin from high blood sugar and pred. Whenever I itch now I slap double base gel on. The top of my right foot used to drive me nuts!!!

Mycophenolate.... I found it made me feel yuck until I got to 750mg but once above that I have no effects I am aware of. On 2g a day for 3 years now more or less.

Thanks will keep slapping on the cream. Taking anti histamene twice a day and at night. So sleepy a lot. Anything is better than the itching xx

It does drive you mad! I started massaging my calves and feet to try and get the blood circulating. You may be better trying an anti itch cream too.

My feet really burn, I bet it is from the same family of complaint. I find that thoroughly moisturising them with E45 base cream eases it - they do one for itchy skin.
