Nick,

The best thing to stop itchiness is antihistamines. Doctors can prescribe some stronger ones but you can also get them over the counter. I use telfast 180mg and it is also useful for getting rid of urticaria (hives) which can be very itchy. I know it is sold in Australia and the UK but not sure if its called Telfast in the States. Generally works very quickly after taking it.

Hmmmm..........I wonder if she is having the disease fight back due to massive die off. If any blisters appear, Liza needs aloe vera gel should take any fire out. SHE neeeds an Aveeno Oatmeal Bath, I think found at Walgreens to calm down her skin. I am wondering if a "burn" reaction, I had this once it hurt BAD. It is most likely the disease fighting back, can get ugly. I would really try the first two things I mentioned. Let me know please if any blistering, when my entire chest, I almost went into shock when covered entire chest and can be most serious. This does not sound good at all, (LC) P.s. an over the counter thing can take for rash is Benedryl, as long as she tolerates that well.

Nick,

Is it a RASH or is her skin inflamed all over? Has she had this before and if so as severely? What is she taking on a daily basis to treat herself? Was she drinking alcohol?

There are so many things that could cause this. I myself had a severe skin inflammation after taking walnut hull extract. I followed the amount stated on the bottle, which was 20-30 drops and now only take a minimal amount. No skin reaction, but wonder if it's working at all at this point. Someone told me the alcohol in the tincture could cause a problem. That's not the case with me, though. Alcohol and I get along very well

I hope she is feeling better.

But Nick, I'm so sorry about your poor wife, she really is having a tough time... has she tried the amitripyline ??? I find it helps so much, or what about piriton an antihistamine to take away the itch and to help with sleep.... Milly x

No drinking, we are friends of Bill W. She just cannot stop itching and lots of sores breaking out on arms and rear end.

I have her taking benerdryl and getting in bath all day, he just got freaked out cause she was out for the first time in a long time and the attck was and is brutal.... I myself have been getting bitten and stung more and more.

Thanks for your feedback and for LC's as well. Trying to run my business take care of son, help her and myself its nice to be able to vent. I know theres people alot worse off than me.

Milly,

Yeah, we need to be able to find the little things in life that help deal with this. LOL The red rules LOL.

Nick,

Sorry for my ignorance, but who is Bill W? Also, you didn't say if she actually had a RASH or overall skin reaction. I'm thinking along with what LC said, that it's a major herx, but who the heck knows? Try to isolate why she had such a brutal attack after such a long time, okay? This thing is so elusive but with daily documentation we can nail it.

i like drinking too. Which makes me wonder if diet should be put in the questionaire.

There is a diet that helps cut down the itchyshow, but i cant be bothered staying on it

Its called the Liver Cleansing Diet by Sandra Cabot

she's a nutritiomist or greenie or something and lives in the same area as me when i caught it

I think shes got the itchyshow because her portait photo is deliberately fogged. Either that or she's just not very pretty naturally.

A Dave,
sorry to laugh but you know how insecure women can be

I definitely think diet should be a MAJOR part of this questionaire.

Diet influences whether your ph is acid or alkaline and the kritters, oops I mean critters love sugar (acid).

Have you seen my post way back regarding the alkaline diet and the video I saw where a healthy, round, beautiful cell was immersed in an acid solution and changed into a sickle cell shape and then into a cancer cell, and then when solution was changed to alkaline, it actually transformed back into a healthy cell?

Kritters (not to be confused with critters LOL)

no. i cant find it but i got the gist.
ill cut out sugar
