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

I have been drinking the cilantro smoothie for 68 days now and 9 days ago I began reducing my accutane does to 10mg every other day and I am noticing that my itching has began to increase again. I'm so frustrated as I was doing really well on the cilantro andd 10mg everyday but I wanted to get off. I'm not getting any new red bumps or rashy spots, it's just the itch. I am now 3 weeks away from my cruise and I'm even more stressed about not having cilantro for a week. I was hoping my year long battle was finally over, but now I don't know what to do. I'll keep up with cilantro, but do I go back up to 10mg everyday and see if the itch improves again? I am only 37 and can't believe how bad this has affected my daily life.

Yes Carrie14, you are so young. I didn't have to deal with GD until my mid 60's. Yes it does limit my daily life when active. I had been symptom free for a year as the cilantro helped me and made the most of it. Starting up again, even on cilantro, but not enough to slow me down one bit yet and plan an active and full day for today.
Is this your first breakout? My first one was extremely severe and lasted 1 year and this is typical. My outdoor activities came to a halt. I hope you eventually get into pattern where you go into remission from time to time and when you do you will make the most of it like the rest of us.
