my upper arms are so itchy I even scratched in my sleep. They are also red with a small rash.
So should I stop all my abx and see if it's an allergic reaction or is it yeast?
I'm on zith which I've been on for 3 months with no problem, started Flagyl 2 weeks ago and then switched to mepron on monday.
But I've taken Mepron before and had no reaction.
Any advice?

I also took diflucan yesterday night with everything else, and the itching started a few hours after I took everything.

Is your skin dry? That's what happened with me. I don't know if it's the TBD or just getting older.

Yeast?? The diflucan may have caused die-off.

I'm thinking it's probably a yeast die off too, from the Flagyl. Thanks

Here are my ramblings on the itching:
I have intense itching on arms, sometimes legs, it literally jumps from spot to spot. If I give in and itch, it FLAMES harder.
Last LLMD appt., I speak of this, and how I had been 'not feeling so great, at all.'
Doc says: Skin is largest detox organ. You can either up your detox (binders 2x a day) or perhaps we should slow down treatment.
I take binders 2x a day now- and skin brush, Epsom salt bath every night, which is a big sweat session- not fun.
It is a little better.
I watched Dr. B's video 'Putting Lyme Behind You.' When he speaks of his exercise protocol, he says the Lyme bugs like to hang out right under the skin.
I don't have joint pain, but I do have this under the skin itch malady. Wish I had the energy to weight exercise- maybe soon I hope.
I bought natural anti itch cream- Eh. Maybe helps a tiny bit.

Maybe try dry brushing.
