Hey Jacklyn, If my doctor told me that she’s thinking of delaying treatment because my numbers are good, I’d say, “Yippee Skippee”. I think that’s awesome if you don’t need to start yet.
Having labs every two weeks will be enough to keep tabs on you and alert your doctor to any changes. You might need treatment in the future but for now, personally, I’d feel pretty good about the news. ☺️
So sorry your itching came back! I hope the loratadine works for you. That over-all itching is awful. And the bug bites sure didn’t do you any favors! I wonder if my trick would work for you? I get relief from mosquito bites by applying Bio-Freeze to the bites asap! I suffer from skeeter syndrome, a major reaction to mosquito bites. 🦟. The sites get huge…large egg to half a grapefruit size and itch/burn intensely. The Bio-freeze really works for me. Calms the bites down. They still swell up, even when I apply ice it the intensity is gone. Since I always have Bio-freeze on hand I haven’t tried anything else like Icy Hot. I think it’s the menthol that’s doing the job.
Well, I’m expecting you exhaled a big sigh of relief with your news! So enjoy the next few weeks, foot loose and fancy free. 😄 Thank you for sharing the news with me!
