I'm SOOOOOO itchy

[Whisk_Luva]

Aww sorry to hear about your itchness.... I had the same thing happen a few weeks back (but mine was to a body spray I think)...

I don't really have any suggestions, but I hope it clears up very soon...

I have some rash on both lower legs due to excema. A good way to stop the itching (so I can fall asleep) is using talcum powder!! It makes me smell like a baby too

Just to let you know that prednisone can have some sides effects ... you may weight while taking it (don't worry it is mostly water and will disappear when you stop), you may have mood swings (either angry or depressed, they will also disappear), some people find that it makes them very hungry (so munch on healthy food).

Sorry about the itches, I am also allergic to perfumes and dyes in many laundry detergents so I can sympathize with you

Well I am on day two of my pred....The dr said I could take one pill every few hours or I could take all three at once. I took two at once yesterday.... yeah I'm spreading them out now lol. They don't make me feel sick to my stomach or anything but taking two at once made me a little loopy lol.

But it is working like a charm. I am so much better already. The hives that were really swollen have gone right down. the only one that is still kind of swollen is the one on my thumb. I'm not really itchy at all anymore. You can still see the hives but they aren't really red like they were before.

I can't believe how fast it started helping. A sweet relief.

the only symptoms I am having so far restlessness. The Dr said I could experience some insomnia and I am. It's hard to fall asleep and hard to stay asleep but I don't feel like I haven't slept. she said they would probably give me a boost of energy and that seems to be the case. Otherwise I haven't had any symptoms. no upset stomach or anything.

yeah next time (hopefully there is no next time though) I will ask for a shot but I've NEVER had an allergic reaction before (other than seasonal sneezing and watery eyes) so I had no idea what was used to help it.
