Hi Gene,

What IS that stuff? Is there a brand name or is that it? I doubt

I have tried it unless it is benadryl or something by another name, LOL

I eagerly await your response so I can ask my hep doc to Rx it

if it's a Rx?

Hi...sorry, my computer was down for a while or I would have answered sooner.

Yes, diphenhydramine is a benadryl-type product, but it really works for me.

I thought I wanted to die. Was going crazy. Couldn't sleep or rest. Tried all

sorts of things in the bathtub to soak in, had tests run for parasites,

couldn't rest or sleep, changed laundry detergents, started thinking I might

be alergic to fabrics in my clothing.

Well, I still itch a little, but nothing like I did before the doctor started

me on diphenhydramine. Thanks goodness!!!

I hope it works for you.

Your friend,

Gene
