gosh... shit!!! pardon my french....
but, i'm am so DAMN ITCHY!!!! i'm losing my fucking mind! i've had this stupid darn rash that started out as a small spot near my arm pit on the chest... and now it's all over my fregggiiiin body! at 1st i thought it was an allergy to the soap i started using. so i switched back to my usual one. but that was almost 3 weeks ago, and it just spread like wild fire!
i showed my doc a few days before leaving to PA (left 2 Tuesdays ago and returned this past Tues) and she prescribed hydrocordazone cream. ya, it helps a bit. helped some go down but then others pop up in other areas with a damn vengeance! GRRRRR!!!!!
it's not shingles, cuz i know what those look like, and these are ALL over, not one side. it's not food allergies cuz there is nothing new in my diet. i've never had eczyma (sp?) and don't know what it's like or why i would get it Now.
i've tried all kinds of things. and my Neutrogena All in one Skin care didn't help either, and it usually numbs skin pain.
i am pretty much for the most part self controlled to not scratch em, but it seems they leave scars here and there, even if i don't scratch.
when my bf helps put the cream on, i have to ask him to rub softly, especially around the rib age, cuz you know how this fibro shit is! it HURTS!!! and i been getting the shooting Stabbing pain in my arm and leg, you know the ones that feel like an ice pick is being driven down, BUT i can't put heat on or a hot bath cuz it makes the HIVES ITCH MORE!!!! AAARRRHHHGG!!!! SHIT!!! DAMN IT!!!
any ideas anyone??!!! thanks and uh... sorry for intruding on your Easter if you were having a good one. i'm just sick of having something wrong ALL the TIME! CAN"T I HAVE ONE GOOD DAY? ONE "NORMAL" DAY?

there are NO blisters. so i'm pretty sure it's not shingles. medication allergy? nope, haven't started the new one yet. food allergy? nothing new in my diet. detergent allrgy? no new detergents. i wasn't in the sun too much either, in fact, while visiting PA, i was all bundled up and the sun only came out one day for the week. i was too busy to be out in the sun anyway. and for the spring theory, i live in Hawaii, so things are always blooming here. no spring or seasons.
i have been taking benadryl at night and it hasn't helped at all, i still wake up itchy as hell that i can't go back to sleep.
i will try the oat meal, aloe vera, and i've been using the blue aloe vera gel with lidocane, it helps for a lil bit but then it starts to wear off. i have another appt coming up for a follow up with my doc. i have a feeling she will prbably prescribe me that prednizone. hopefully she'll get me to a dermatologist!
thanks everyone! i hope your advice helps me!
But, reading your post is making me itch now ! GAAAH! LOL
