I itch so much especially at night the meds I am taking is not stopping the itching

[Mrs-h]

sometimes I get in the shower to relieve the itching for a little while

I have used Bio Oil before with great success. It looks oily when first applied and takes a while to get absorbed but lasts a long time once absorbed. Good luck

I don't know if you've tried this but I take an antihistamine. I find this helps with the itching for me. xx

[Whathappned in reply to lillyanne]

Hi I agree. Try antihistamine. My itching always comes back if I don't add the antihistamine to my daily drugs.

I don't think its drug related as I had it before I started the drugs for whatever I have( no diagnosis just auto immune connective tissue something).

If it gets out of control I do the shower thing, creams and try to keep cool. I would suggest, if your not already doing it, Keep the shower cool x

I also get hydrocortisone cream. You have to be careful with that though just the smallest amount and limit it to a few days. It will thin the skin so possibly get medical advice on that one.

My itching got better when I dropped dairy...just a thought..hope u can find answers

Has the itching just started recently? I'd mention it to the rheumatologist and maybe check the liver function too. In case the autoimmunity has affected your liver. It might not have, I don't want to panic you, just as a precaution.
