Anyone have real itchy skin without a rash? Is this a herx, lyme or co-infection symptom? I have treated with hbot & now 2 1/2 months into Cowden protocol [30 drops each of samento & banderol]. Ive been told tissue is the last & hardest place to rid toxins from. Thanks & Happy Easter All

Talk to your LLMD. This happened to me and my doc believes we were attacking too hard for my body to clear the die-off, despite adequate detox plan, and we backed off slightly on the treatment. Are you doing anything else for detox?

When I had high liver enzymes, my skin was generally much more itchy (no rash).
I agree with sbh93 that there may be additional detoxing to do to help with this symptom, and/or treatment may be too aggressive...

i had itchy skin for a month or so (i think it was after ceflex). it was driving me mad.
the strange thing was: as i got itchy, my neuro pain went away. when the itching stopped, it came back. i and my llmd dont know what it was.

I itched on and off for about a year. It was TERRIBLE! My whole torso would itch, and my scalp, and my legs -- especially the backs of my knees. I had a blotchy red rash that came with the itching once or twice. Most of the time, though, the skin looked perfectly normal.
The itching was at its worst during a time when my health overall was declining. I had lots of weird neuro symptoms, nausea, and terrible anxiety during that period. Once I got my adrenals and immune system semi-stablized, the itching went away... though I've never really known what exactly caused it.

I had itchy skin for 2 years, prior to my dx - was just one of many other symptoms for me. I still get it off and on - been treating for 3 years. Don't know the cause. TS

the itching is from the nerves, not the skin, your nerves are being attacked thus the itching, you may experience nerve pain later...
