Hi all

I am new to the nids protocol. My son started last week on anti-

fungals. He has been itching all over his legs and arms. I don't know

if its a die off or dust mites or just dry skin.

Is there any natural oil or cream that would help. His skin is

exteremely dry and looks whitish.

I was told off a cream off the counter called aqua something. I don't

know what its called. Does anyone have a clue or could suggest any

remedy.

thks so much mom in need.

My son gets VERYy itchy and complains of uncontrollable inchiness

during a yeast kill off when we change antifungal. I just try to

keep is skin hydrated and sure enough it just stops when he has

adjusted and is through his kill off.

Hope this helps.

I USE TOPICAL LAMISIL, FOR SAME SYMPTOMS.

V.

[] Itching

I know I have read a few post's in tne past about this and some of

the symptoms resembled mine but refrained from posting becuase I

wasn't sure what I had and it didn't seem to be mold related and it

was embarrasing.

But I have had intense itching for the last 10 years that has

centered around the anus. But what really is perplexing is that in

the last few years the symptoms have spread out all over the body. I

get tiny blisters on my ankles that look like little ant bites. I

also would feal little fleas or mites crawling on my skin and

biting. In my hair and on most parts of the body, head, back, arms,

legs. They kept me busy scratching every day. I have heard others

mention similar symptoms and their dr's just roll their eye's in the

back of their head and think " nut job " or some more serious ones

would suggest scabbies. I have researched all of the most likely

possibiliteis and found no evidence:

My main canidates were scabbies, body lice, and pin worms. But never

found any evidence of these.

Than the thought came what if it's some type of yeast or fungus. So

based on this notion I went out and bought a aresol can of tinactin.

Which of course is for athletes foot and jock itch. Both fungal

conditions. I used this for a couple of weeks and my symptoms dropped

95 percent and the little crawlly things I was scratching all over my

body have almost completly quit crawling and bitting.

I would be very interested if anyone has had similar conditions front

or back channel. Also if they try what I tried the degree of success

in treating this condition.

One note you might want to check with your dr first before using

tinactin as I have prescribed. I only used it on the central location

metioned above and the little blisters on my ankles and feet and it

worked very well, definantly not a placeebo effect. I am flabergassed

after all these years of itching and scrathing to have stumbled on

this remedy.

I knew I wasn't nut's but it's still nice to hear I am not the only

one with this problem. I did read on some sight where a similar set

of symptoms were prevelent in cfs sufferers. They wanted money for

some product to treat it so I was dubious of the site.

Have you been able to eradicate the problem? If no on a scale of 1 to

10 how would you rate lamisil's effectivness?

I am kind of stupid in hind sight not to think of this. But the

crawling feeling made me sure it was some type of insect or worm.

Symptoms don't fit infection at all. And what makes it exceedingly

bizare is that it's not localized, the crawling and itching is all

over your body!

I never heard of lamisil, seen the comercials but didn't pay

attention to the product becuase I don't have a toe nail problem.

Seems to me the tinactin might be a better way to treat the condition

seeing your not taking it internally, except via absorbtion though

the skin. But a clear advantage is you can target the specific area.

which means reduced expousures to the toxins that kill the fungus,

yeast or insects or whatever it is.

I have heard bad things about lamisil. How about benedryl. You don't

think it is shingles do you. Sometimes when I am itching I have put

vinegar on my belly. For a woman maybe monistat cream. Sounds fungal

related. Some foods make me itchy but the blisters are puzzling. Just

my tips.

BENADRYL IS ONLY FOR ITCHING......I NEEDED LAMISIL TO CLEAR MY BLISTER-LIKE

RASHES. NO, ITS NOT SHINGLES. I WAS A NURSE, I KNOW WHAT SHINGLES LOOK

LIKE.... & OF COURSE, SO DO MY DOCS.

TAKE CARE,

, the lamisil cleared my rashes in 3 days......topically. BUT--ask your

doctor first, I'm NOT a physician.

Yes smaller than a bb, Maybe 1/5 the size of a bb clear fluid filled

and moderately itchy, not as bad as the other spot which can be

intense maybe because it's much more sensitive. I used to treat these

areas by boiling water in a microwave dipping a paper towel in the

water and feathering it over the affected area. It would immediately

aliveate the itching and seemed to put the infection at bay for a week

or so.

Now having tried the tinactin I have gotten much better results.

Never had any rashes on my belly though. I would think anything that is

used systemically (orally taken) should be used with caution because

you are not focusing the treatment in any one area which means more

exposure as opposed to topical that is focused on the affected area.

Thus less expousure to the toxins used to kill fungus.

Thanks , I might just try switching I didn't know you were

taking it topically. From what I read though it's very expensive. I

wish I would of posted back when this discusion was going on I think I

got the impression than that you were using it but with limited success.

I guess that's the pestimistic side of me, always looking at the cup

half empty. Not listening carefully enough to others.

I stoped using the tinactin after about two weeks and havent started

back up and my symptoms are present but extreemly mild so I haven't

started back up yet. My thinking is I want to use the same methodology

as antibiotics where you don't bread resistance by stoping short of a

complete kill. So switching may give me an added advantage here being I

have probably bread some resistance to the tinactin.

athletes foot IS fungus.

The tip I got on this site has relieved me of all skin ailments-

Lavender oil. It is extremly anti-fungal-better than perscriptions, and

contains anti-bacterial properties also-candida on my body that i had

for years is now totally gone-if I feel an itch-I apply it for a few

days-. One caution-I have heard that it has an estrogenic effect-so

should not be used on boys

I second 's recommendation for Lavender oil. It will likely cure

you completely without any side effects. Be sure it is steem distilled

and pure. No dilutions in other oils.

There is one more essential oil which has even more powerful

antifungal properties - Tagetes minuta oil. I wrote about it in the

message number 50249 in this group.

Thanks Branislave, I have it just about under control, the itching is

miniscule compared to what it was. I am not familiar with the stuf. I

assume you can get it at walmart?

I had that kind of itching about 2-3 weeks after starting celebrex,

The doctor said it was an allergic reaction & took me off it. Have

you started something new withing the last few weeks?

> Hi everyone! I have another new symptom today! I am itching

everywhere! I can't stop! It feels like even the inside of my nose is

itching! I do not have any hives, bumps, or red skin. It's so bad

that I only slept an hour and a half and I take the highest dose of

Lunesta plus 3 other things at bedtime that cause drowsiness. Now

I'm battling the side effects of not having slept a full 8 hours on

the Lunesta. I haven't used any new products in the last few days I

did take an Ultram ER last night, but I've been able to take

Tramadol, and I've taken the Ultram ER a couple of other times as I

need it. Does anyone else ever have anything like this happen? I've

not been able to take my Sulfasalazine in a week due to the

respiratory infection. I don't know if skin issues go along with

this or not. I've never had anything like this ever happen! Thanks

so much for any input!

Are you allergic to Codiene? I was told that ultram or Tramadol has a cross

sensitivity for many that are allergic codiene. I am allergic to condiene.

I had been taking it off and on for about two years. And just recently did I

have a reaction to Ultram. So I do not take it anymore. But itching and

hives is the first symptom I got.

Hi,

I get the itchies with any hydrocodone derivitive...recently when i had

condochondritis again!! i had vicodin, then i had something else for my cough,

it was awful taking them, I itched so bad I wanted to rip my skin off. I took

benadryl and that helped it some. I take Tramadol as needed and have no

issues with it at all. Codiene makes me hyper normally, but this tramadol

50mg,

at times doesn't even help me. I currently have a cyst at my wrist joint

that hurts to my elbow to my pinky and have percocets...they are making me

itchy, but not as bad as hyrdrocodone.

Hi Jeanette!

I spoke to my family doctor who prescribed the Ultram ER. When I first got FMS,

it was the first pain medication prescribed to me. It's a drug I have taken in

the past. Yet, I took the Ultram ER yesterday when I spoke with the

rheumatologist on call at U of M because I couldn't walk. I woke up in the

middle of the night with itching and only slept an hour. My family doctor said

its possible I have developed an allergic reaction to the medication since the

Ultram ER is one that stays in the blood longer than the tramadol that I used to

take a couple of times a day. He said the tramadol might not have stayed in my

blood long enough to show an allergic reaction. I'm taking benadryl and if that

doesn't work I need to get over the counter Zyrtec. I began Mobic on March 3rd

and am hoping that is not the drug causing this. I guess I'll eliminate my pain

medication first, and if I still itch tomorrow it might be the mobic!
