Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks Ali,I asked the doctor to put me on Rifampn, but I know they don't liked to be told what to do so they wanted to try the Atarax first. Actually most of my itching starts in the afternoon, why I don't know, and gets worse at night so I have been taking it then, I am a blonde so my husband says I always walk around in a fog anyway!! Trying to keep my humor about this, you are all so great, I hope to meet you in Pittsburgh, if not before, you are from NC, right, take care and to everyone, God Bless you this New Year, Bettyann (sc) > > From: alisoikias@... > Date: 2006/01/03 Tue AM 10:41:52 EST > To: > Subject: Re: Atarax > > Dear BettyAnn, > I used to take Atarax about 2 years ago.
