Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Howdy there... About 6 mos. after my lap RNY, I started getting the itchies... Almost everywhere. Upper arms, thighs, butt-cheeks, sides of my face, forarms, back... you name it, I probably itched there. I had little raised red bumps, and I carried Benadryl spray with me. I had to have someone spray me down before bed, and had to use it when I would wake up in the middle of the night scratching. I'm not as sensitive as the rest of my family is to detergents, soaps, lotions or perfumes, but I started going though the whole rigamarole of examining what I was putting on or near my body that would have some negative effect. I went to a dermatologist, and nothing was conclusive as to what was going on with me. I didn't do any tests outside of getting looked at by the dermatologist, and she took some blood, but the tests she ran came back inconclusive or negative (don't remember which). Then, about 3 weeks later, it stopped. Don't know why or how. Still have no idea what happened, and thankfully, I haven't gone through it again. I'm curious to find out just how many people have also gone through something like this? It seems as if there might be a thread here. Best of luck, Lap RNY 12/02/02 314/175/???
