Amazing none of your doctors have informed you about the research done on Citirizine(Zyrtec) and Famotidine (Pepcid) combination to treat the intensive itching caused by the cytokine involvement in long haulers that is related to excessive histamine. Google the combo and you can see for yourself. Doctors are stuck in the same spot and don’t incorporate the latest long haul findings.
Worked wonders for me… But you have to wean yourself off these because quitting them cold turkey will have you back where you started with excessive itching.
No warning labels on the box but it’s a fact and you can Google that also. All I can say is keep up with the research. …because your dr probably doesn’t have time.
I’m a long hauler for over three years….I haven’t stopped saving my own life… Not one dr has offered anything of benefit. Tests always come back normal so that is case closed for them….

So my nursing instructor actually suggested the Zyrtec and Pepcid combo to me after I was experiencing an itching attack that lasted days. I could not sleep, I could not do anything but scratch and my skin was literally torn up. I had covid in 2021. After recovering I started itching on my feet and legs. Ever since it comes and goes, some days are better than others but even after taking the Zyrtec and Pepcid combo everyday I still itch. It’s mostly at night but some days it’s all throughout the day. I can not imagine living this way for the rest of my life. I’ve seen multiple doctors and dermatologists, no body knows what to tell me. I honestly feel like they just think I’m crazy. I’ve had a doctor prescribe me Vistaril but all it did was knock me out. Sometimes I’ll take a Benadryl at night just to sleep without laying awake itching for hours. If I don’t scratch it it turns to like a burning pain like someone is shocking my skin where it itches. I’m glad I found this thread and at least I don’t feel alone or crazy.
