Re: Re: Digest Number 514 itching

The autoimmune disease I spoke of, which can cause itching without a rash, isn't related to allergies. As far as I know, antihistamines don't help itching caused by this particular autoimmune disease. It's classified as a rare disease. Itching doesn't start until that disease has become pretty severe. I'm sorry if I alarmed you by speaking of it.

The Atarax I wrote about "merely" quiets the itching, allows one to get some rest.

can you tell me more about this itching disease?  I've taken antihistamines for like 15 years for other allergies, so I didn't really notice when my severe itching started, but a few years ago.  With an antihistamine I'm fine, but when I dont take it (and it has to be a strong one) I start getting REALLY itchy.  Could this be what you're talking about?  The doctor never thought anything of it. 

 

Thanks!
