Guest guest Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Good Morning Group! I have a question in regards to my itching. The itchings go and come. I had them on my belly, my breasts and now my hands. Once they are gone, they resurface in another part of my body. What is going on? Does this have to do with my Liver/Cirrhosis Disease?

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Sorry it has taken so long to respond to this post. I have variations in the severity of the itching, and I have had them in all the places you mentioned, plus. some times I would almost like to cut off my feet and/or legs. I think the toxins in our blood can vary with what we eat or drink, how our body handles it, and also how other organs are working. I know mine got worse when my kidneys started being a problem. I find that antihistamines do help, and tonight is my second or rather would have been if I hadn't just happened to look over on my desk and see some 4 hour tablets. I prefer the 12 hour ones, usually can make do with one pill a day taken at bedtime. Also, I am sure by now, someone has told you that lotions can help by making your skin less dry as dry skin can make you itch all by itself. Jan > Good Morning Group!

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Can't say I have had any prolonged time when everything was good with the itching. I do know it got a lot better when I discovered I had been washing my clothes in a washer which was full of soap, and never got rinsed out. Since I have had my own washer and dryer, it has been better. but I still have sores on my body from itching and the scabs start itching so scratch them too, and then a bigger sore. Yes, antihistamines seem to work well for me too. Jan > Geez, how stupid I can get!!

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 My son was born with excema from the top of his head to his toes. I had a minor touch of it some years before; but, not for many years. Fortunately, 2 of my cousins had it bad. So I was a little forewarned about what was coming. It didn't take long to find out that he could not have any baby products, even if they said 99.;9% pure. Never could figure out what the pure was. LOL  Also, Bounce Sheets were an absolute no no. However, I was using public washers and dryers, so there was always residual. I was so excited when I got my own apartment size washer and dryer. Then I had control of what detergent etc that I could use. Since I haven't used dryer sheets for over 30 yrs, that was one problem gone. All one has to do is poor just a little fabric softener on a rag or something and throw it in and it doesn't seem to affect the allergies.  Also, there are only 2 detergents on the market that I can personally use. I'm back to using public laundry again, so I don't worry so much about the residual. ________________________________  Can't say I have had any prolonged time when everything was good with the itching.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 We use whatis called a laundry pure. It is a device that is attached to the washer and as water goes through it, silver ion are put into the water and with a UV light the water gets turned into peroxides which take dirt out of clothes without detergent and with cold water only. The silver ion probe and UV bulb gets changed every 3000 loads. Saves on detergent and the water that ge pumped out has been used to water plants. Now that is technology.
