Are you on HC? If so I would try an increase. As cortisol is the body's

antiinflammatory hormone, often just being low in it causes inflammation

which when it is the skin, expresses in itching.

No, I'm not on HC presently...I had gotten my adrenals and thyroid

into the comfy zone. I haven't needed to stress dose until my mom

passed. Even then a couple days' worth worked well for me.

Thanks for your response though. My hubby actually handed me his tube

of Cortaid and that worked okay believe it or not. I was reading

another post about the creams. If I hadn't had the Cortaid, I think I

would have been flat on the floor.

Be well!

Hi ,

Generalized itching can also be from kidney issues. I had this when I had

stuborn UTIs. When I finally got them resolved, no more itching.

hi

how did you resolve them? Antibiotics? i am going through UTi. I am using d

mannose. i wonder if it will help.

generalised itching may also be due to kidney insufficiency.i suggest you to

have your creatinine clearance checked.

Hi Nil,

You don't even wanna know. my (former) urologist nearly killed me with

antiobiotics. The infections were resistant to most abx and they gave me

Macrobid twice - the second time I had an anaphylactic reaction. I finally had

10 days of IV gentamycin - big guns. I was hospitalized twice for

pyelonepohritis, which simply means that the UTI had reached the kidneys. This

whole trial was over the course of 6 months~!

If you do have an infection, I would go ahead with the antibiotic, but - start

using unsweetened cranerry juice, but not too much. One glass a day is enough. I

think it is similar the the D- Mannose. I drink parsley/clery seed water (like a

tea) at any sign in UT irritation now. Just brew a whole bunch (1/2 bunch if

large) in about a quart of water with a few sprinkles of celery seed. Both are

good to flush the kidneys. I drink it all in one day. If not, keep the unused

portion in the fridge. If it looks at all cloudy, rewarm it until clear. I have

not had another infection and it is going on 4 years. I also take Oreganol, P-73

gelcaps. I take one a day except on Sunday. If any illness starts, I take 2-4 a

day, and use the liquid Oreganol P-73 as well. I'm happy to say that I have not

needed antibiotics since except for pre-med dental work. At the time of these

UTIs, I also took asparagus tea, and Colliodal Silver. So, if you were to ask me

what did it, I cannot be sure. I was uncomfortable continuing the CS so only

took one bottle of it. The asparagus tea was costly so I only did that for a

couple of weeks, twice a day.

I have had reduced kidney fuinction from longstanding hypoparathyroidism,

but am doing better now that I take PTH hormone (Forteo). Thanks for your

concern. I've had no more itching since the UTI fiasco.

HTH,

I had some terrible itching a few months ago, and in my searches I ran across a

few

things. I read somewhere that sometimes low iron causes itching - I dont' recall

why - but

since many hyops are low in iron, that makes sense.

The best relief I got was increasing my vitamin C. Apparently it is a natural

antihistamine.

I did read that it could be liver related as well, so increased liver supportive

foods.

Unfortunately I have no idea which of these worked in my case - maybe all - but

I did

them all together, so can't tell.
