Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 I feel for you!! I fought the itchy monster for 10 months straight with hives!! Here are some things to try. Stay out of hot water - makes it worse. Take cool baths. Oatmeal works sometimes. Definitely do the Benedryl - my dear pink friend during those 10 months! Wear loose fitting cool clothing...nothing scratchy like polyester or wool. Try Sarna lotion. Also, take an antacid like Zantac - I was on 300mg twice per day. It works as an antihistimine also to attack what the Benedryl does not! Good luck to you! Write back if none of that works and I'll dig a little deeper. I try to forget about that nightmare! *wink* Big anti-itch hugs! Jerri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
