You know....that was one of my first thoughts. Because the itching is in a few areas that make no sense. I mentioned again to my internist last week and she said probably more of an allergy. But...if it's allergic reaction the only way to get rid of it is to have the mesh removed. I don't think I want to go thru that process. If it is nerve damage...perhaps it will burn itself out. I'll check with the OB/GYN to see what he would prescribe.
