Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Is itching part of AIH? what flares the itching and what can I take to stop it. I had a lil rash of bumps on my arm that itched, so I scratched and before I knew it, I broke out every where except for my face, even my scalp. These were lil red bumps popping up every where. This itching & breakout happend on 4/24 & 4/25. Most of the bumps are gone, but I occasionally still itch from time to time. I dont take prednison, I've been off the Azasan 150mg since February 2011 because I kept getting re-current UTI's. I only take 150mg of Synthroid. I dont know when I'll go back on the Azasan. I did test positve yesterday for Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth. Dx with AIH 2007 -Azasan 100mg Hypo-Thyroid - Synthroid 150mcg Gastro-paresis - No meds Myocytis - 50mg of Azasan Gerd - Nexium 40mg Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth - Rx an antibiotic I need to pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi Proudgrandmamaof3 I have had the itching also and I also have AIH. I was itching all over my body. Scratching against doorposts because I couldn't reach it. It was driving me up a wall. This was one of the reasons I went to my doctor and he sent me to the hospital after checking out some things. They submitted me right away and it took about 3 weeks until they knew that I had AIH. They gave me NALTREXON for it in the hospital It helped me very fast. I don't remember exactly, but I think it took a couple of hours when the itching stopt. I took it for a couple of months and then I stopped and it never came back. I just kept the meds in the house, just in case it would come back. Ask your doctor if you can try this meds. I don't know if it goes with the meds you are already taking. Hope you feel better soon Michele -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- From: proudgrandmamaof3 Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2011 8:19 PM Subject: [ ] Itching and breakouts Is itching part of AIH? what flares the itching and what can I take to stop it.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Itching can be the worst symption of any liver disease. we have found Eucerin one of the best things to treat the itching with although of course getting the meds right is the real key. in 2008 Eucerin was also recomended in the following presentation Management of Autoimmune Liver Diseases http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6vB5V5d3yQ Mark > > Is itching part of AIH? what flares the itching and what can I take to stop it.
