Does your skin itch. My arms and legs really itch. I apply lotion twice a day and take benedryl. Guess it helps. It puts me to sleep.

I have found that tree tea oil shampoo plus rinsing with witch hazel does help my head. My arms and legs keep itching.
Thanks! I'll give it a try, my shampoo (Stieprox) isnt as effective lately.
Have a great day!
Something else to add 2 my list, thanks.
I have Remicade since 2008 for AS. So far its effective.
I was dx'd with an autoimmune disease after my 3rd child was born. The weird thing was I had painful joints when I was pregnant with my first child. I was going to my Chiropractor and he felt I might have had Chronic Fatigue. Went to a Rhuematologist and was diagnosed with Sjorgrens. There after I have had 2 bouts of Cancer. My worst symptoms are dry eye and itchy skin. I have tried plugs buy they didn't stay in. I use 2 meds for my eyes. Restasis & Paseo. I use any of the top non fragrant lotions for my skin. The brain fog is even worse since chemo. And the joint pain due to the Arimidex.

Yes, my skin and scalp itch a lot. I use a mild shampoo and mild soap. Have tried various lotions. Right now using Walgreens Dry Skin Cream. Have just begun on Orencia. Needs a three month loading dose.
