Grover's Disease: What works to help find relief?

My Grover’s is from scalp (skipping my face) down to my upper knees, breasts included. The most inflamed is my chest and back. I keep aloe gel in the fridge and when applied it’s sooo cold it too scares the itch for abt 20-30 minutes which feels like heaven. I’m drinking the cilantro smoothies daily and taking 24hr Claritin and melatonin to help me sleep. I’ve upped all my vitamins that affect skin and immunity. Wearing a bra is killing me and I need one as I’m heavy breasted but also without it when I sweat under my breasts the rash goes crazy there. I had a three day break this past week from spreading rash so of course I thought it was going away but woke up this morning w my chest and back raging. But so thankful for a little break!! I had tried 3other antihistamine products to no avail but the Claritin seems to help me tolerate. Amazing how we Groverers have such differences in what helps. I appreciate your insight and pray you’re right abt the first episode being the worst. Oh, abt heat…I played golf for the first time in weeks yesterday so I’m thinking that’s why I’m suffering again today.

The severity of you symptom's is heartbreaking. I don't think it's a coincidence that my obsession with gardening or other outdoor activities in the heat brought about my GD.
Keep searching. I learned about cilantro, which worked for me on a Mayo site in Feb of 2019.
I have heard from other's that Facebook has a robust GD site. No need for me to search anymore, but like other auto immune diseases I have no doubt it's lurking inside my body.
