250mgs. a day of Zithro and once weekly Bicillin LA shot.Soon my llmd wil up this, it's just I've had bad experiences wirth previous treatments and she wants to slowly

intoduce my body to abx. I'm very happy about this. I just hope it's strong enuff to help the Encepholapothy.

Anyway, has anyone exper. itching? and if so WHAT can I do for it? HELP .........Jamie

Are you sure it isn't a allergy? Not saying at all that it is, just asking.

I've been on both and havent had that symptom though many rashes.

The spells come whenever they want.I've been keeping a journal since I started treatment and there seems to be no trigger

nothing happening after I take meds. just these horrible itching spells.

I did a search and not much came up....Although I'm not alone, some had allergies and were taking meds. for them.

I don't think it's allergies.ooooooh gotta go.....scratch thanx, Jamie

I've had the itching before. It truly took a period of slow, consistent abx to stop it. From my experience with this you are on the right track. I found hyper-moisturizing helped along with NOT scratching.

My first reaction was calamine lotion (so was my LLMD's) but it didn't work. I found a great moisturizer that hyper-moisturized and gave me a sense of relief.

I started showering and not drying off but moisurizing immediately after. I air dried and then clothed. It really helped.

My daughter has been taking Atarax every day for the past 4 years for her generilized itching! It helps it from getting so out of control.

She also uses a local benedryl-hydrocortisone cream for those isolated spots (but you can't use this all of the time).

Yes, you are wise to do all the basic anti itching things you can to decrease your odds as mentioned above. "All-Free" is the detergent we were recommended. We even takes her own sheets washed in this to go to out of town LLMD appt.
