@jeanne5009 I can only imagine how exasperating it must be to itch so much. When I have a mosquito bit it drives me crazy.
Is this thought to be related to your cirrhosis? I did not have this problem with my cirrhosis but it seems that it's unpredictable which symptoms you may or may not get, for instance, I was never jaundiced. I sure had a lot of other symptoms though.

My 6mo bloodwork was done and I dropped 2 meld points to 6. Dr. doesn't think it's related but I haven't ruled it out yet. The ER doc put me on prednizone 20 1 per day for 5 days. It's helping the itch but the rash is still there. The last 3 rounds of prednizone didn't work either. Well see.
Guess the allergist and patch testing is next.
I have a hard time rationalizing how I could be Stage 4 End Stage Cirrhosis with a Meld of 6 but I'm thankful for it...I guess... Can this all end anytime soon? I suspect I'm in for the long haul...Im pushing 69 maybe I'll just die from itching...lol
