I get itching everytime before a flare. Like clock work.

Oh yes!! It itches so bad that I find that I sometimes break the

skin. I had a bad episode a few days ago and now I am beginning a

flare. Cassy.

Not that I can remember, but that sounds like you are swelling just

before a flare. I do know that when I hold on to a lot of fluid in

the tissue, I have increased pain. My knees, ankles, feet take turns

with swelling and the skin is always tight and shiny when the

swelling happens. So I have started looking for ways to keep the

fluid off. I heard grapefruit juice is a natural diuretic so bought

some of that to drink.

Ebony, my hairdresser has lost down from a size 26 to a size 12 and

counting, she swears just from drinking grapefruit juice, so that

would sure be another benefit for me. I bought a big bottle and will

give it a shot- thanks!

hi.. Just check all your medications about drug interactions. Grapefruit is to

be avoided with some medications, and taken hours before or hours after your

meds.. Im on 2 that say avoid the grapfruit cause can intensify or decrease the

effectiveness of the meds. I also itch like crazy before a flare.Take care ...
