Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Recently I had a really bad flare up. No one knows what caused it (no illegals, no infection, sudden extreme pain unlike any flare I've had before) but the leading theory is that I had an intussusception that healed itself and it kind of messed things up in my gut. Unfortunately I was put back on prednisone (diet worked for healing a flare in the past but this time it didn't work) and rowasa. But that's not really why I'm writing, I just figured I should give a little bit of background. I wondered if anyone else has had a problem with itchy palms and soles. Ordinarily I'd assume it was some kind of allergic reaction but prednisone masks all my allergy symptoms. Heh...I even had to get a patch test read early because the pred would negate the results. Anyway until 2 days ago it was only on the palms and soles. It's started to itch occasionally on the tops of my hands and feet but it's sooooo bad. It wakes me up and it's been going on for weeks. Last week I had an itch on one of my soles that was so bad that I actually considered going to urgent care. I don't have any discoloration or anything that looks like a rash. My skin isn't dry. I can't figure it out. I've read everything from " it's B Vitamin deficiency " to " it's a sign of Crohn's " to " it can be a sign of cancer. " So yeah...I wondered if anyone else had a similar experience? Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
