Is anyone itching all over? I have been in treatment

for a little over 2 months, and on some detoxers.

Lately i am itching all over, and sometimes it feels like theres something crawling on me

Could this be my body detoxing?

When I get itchy it's a signal I'm ready for another dose of pulsed abx, or an increase in dose. For me the itching is worst during the evening. I've found Lanacane helps reduce it.

Here's a good article on the underlying cause of the itchies, written by a Swedish doctor...

I have itched from day one of treatment. It itches more in the places it hurts, especially joints. My LLD says its the toxins being released by germs being destroyed. It seems the itching gets worse before and during a herx. Thats just me

blaze, can you summarize the 1st link you mentioned for us to go to? i went to it and can NOT comprehend LONG solid text like that at all.

RASH ITCHES TIP -- use CORN STARCH or ``rubbing alcohol`` on it especially the corners good. Hubby suggested; worked great for me; rash cleared up in 2 days vs. weeks/month. Many use in bath water!

Many years ago I got similar itching due to vitamin C. I take that as a sign that both abx and vitamin C can trigger similar immune system responses.
