Guest guest Posted May 23, 2001 Report Share Posted May 23, 2001 Dear All, As yall know I did not have a good weekend...grrrr but this new thing started and do not know if it is related to the Duragesic patch,syntroid, or Ceftin. What ever it is itching is not fun.....started itching real bad on Sunday nite....went into the next day....got out of the polyester blend of pajamas:( and got into some cotton......still continue to itch. Here it is Wednesday so I stopped the Ceftin thinking maybe that was it...but now started itching again.....gonna take a shower and see what happens. I bought some Aveeno moiturizer with oatmeal thinking that would help but so far nothing is helping.... Help.............. itchin` in Houston Samm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2001 Report Share Posted May 24, 2001 Samm, and others I found that " slapping so that it stings " rather than scratching helped more-maybe it dulled the nerve endings more-don't know but found that is helped the itching more and didn't leave any " raw " areas, also Ala Vera juice-the kind where one breaks open the plant also helped more than the oatmeal stuff from the drug store, a little slimy but it dries, also try ice cubes, it seems to me that when that itching part of the body got a " little warm " is when it really got bad, I just considered it the Lyme in the nerve endings and since they like it hot, that part being warm was making them party so I would put them to sleep slapping and ice cubing and then slimy to hopefully shut off air supply.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2001 Report Share Posted May 24, 2001 Samm, I had that as a symptom of LD, and still do on occasion especially on the bottom of my feet, and my inner wrists, a real deep itch, like it is under the skin and cannot be reached. It would wake me out of a sound sleep, my husband would find me standing on a hair brush in the middle of the night, trying to reach that deep itch. I tried the Aveeno baths and they helped some, if only to relax me, and then I tried Benedryl lotions, creams, pills, you name it, the only thing that helped was time passing. I hope that you can get yours to stop before it gets too annoying.

My itch spots are both sides of my neck, with my left being far worse, my left shoulder and the back of my left hand. Hmmm have a left thing going on, maybe a symptom of Neuropathy? Anyhow when these spots act up I dont think even a brillo pad would give me relief. Strange thing is that it just stops, doesnt wane off, just stops.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2001 Report Share Posted May 24, 2001 Hi Samm, Forgot to mention, itching in the ears remains a problem with me, when my inner ears begin to itch, I know a herx is on it's way.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2001 Report Share Posted May 24, 2001 Hi, I'm Dawn & I am in Michigan. My problem with itching is in my legs below my knees and in my upper back (base of my neck, shoulders & under shoulder blades) where I have a kinda numb pain. (Doesn't make sense but that's what I got.) I also found that " slapping " worked the best for it. But the looks and comments from everyone drive me nuts almost as much as the itching does.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2001 Report Share Posted May 24, 2001 Has anyone had an itch way back inside the mouth to the side going up to the ear? The only way I have found to scratch it is to rub my tongue against it. Drives me nuts! It has been going on for about 2 weeks now. The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2001 Report Share Posted May 25, 2001 My ears itch on the inside- and also the way back of my throat. It is one odd symptom and quite difficult to satisfy...

I want so much to help others, & when I do it makes me feel so good. I do not need to take the Zyrtec every day, only when I feel the itching. I never could have tolerated the IV Claforan without it. Marta, I read that you are planning a move. PLEASE let's meet before you leave NJ. I want so much to meet you. Can't wait to get out of NJ myself, but have no idea where I'd go. I do prefer a warmer climate & less congestion. Hugs, a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2001 Report Share Posted May 25, 2001 Hi a and Sue, I have been on Zyrtec for allergies for over a year, prior to that I was on Claritin for years, and come to think of it the itching is not near as bad as it used to be.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 Hello, Did you guys, gals ever think of it as yeast. When my yeast gets bad, the first place that itches is my neck, then everywhere including my eyebrows. Acidophilus and Diflucan and no sugar help me. just a thought, hugs, Connie, MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the nerve endings--that is where they are located. It is an internal, no relief itch.
