@gently Hello and just an update on mom's itching. The itching moved to her lower back and some spots in the middle. After two visits to the dermatologist she has avoided telling us anything negative. My wife however does her laundry and found blood on her nightgown. Back to the dermatologist who has become frustrated herself. She's sent her back to the PCP asking for bloodwork because she believes the itching is coming from inside her blood vessels.
I'm finding several supplements she's apparently been using around the kitchen. I'll be making an appt Monday to see the PCP about bloodwork, etc. We've had a good holiday and mom tries to avoid anything negative at all. It was working well until today when I had to tell her about the bloodwork. We'll be ironing out whether she wants to go forward with the bloodwork. I think she'll want it because she's due for her regular visit in February anyway and she loves getting it done because it's usually quite good. Thanks for reading, John
