I've mentioned this before, but just in case new bloggers haven't followed this entire discussion I have stopped my incessent 24/7 stinging burning and itching inside my skin without any visible rashes.
I had several neuopathy tests and nothing was found. The neuologist ran the tests but forwarded me that normally neuopathy is not all over the body, but more on one side of the body unlike me so he didn't suspect it. My issues were everywhere, all over and dramatically worse at night.
Histamines are elevated in the evening.
I do have Allergic Contact Dermatitis, but I had eliminated all allergic contacts base on my 5 Day Extended Patch Test Results and had no more external rashes. Yet something was elevating histamines on the inside.
A miracle shot for me was the Kenalog 40 cortico-steroid injection which I had annually to control my internal symtoms and that worked for about 9 months. I'd hold off and then get another each year end. I was able to sleep at peac. For me the only negative side affect was blushing and reddening of the face for about 2 month. Worse was hair loss for about 2 months afterwards. It would grow back.
I haven't needed this potent steroid shot now for 4 years. Why?
Diet change. I gave up all processed sugar. After the miserable sugar detox of giving up all processed and natural sugar for 3 months I will never allow myself to face that detox again. It takes tremedous will power. A carrot was was sweetest food I could find. Truly it is an addiction and I have never been overweight or ate many sweets, too much fruit perhaps.
Read The Yeast Connection Handbook by William Crook, MD, you can buy it used for under $4.00. It gave me my life back. The book has simple medical explaintions with hand drawn diagrams showing what sugar is doing to your body. The detox also had me give up carbs, especailly gluten carbs. Yet detox is over. I have found I am fine eating carbs and still have none of the internal misery that was leading me to suicide. I'd lay in my itchy skin, unable to sleep and plan how to end it all knowing I would face another day of misery. That was before I learned about the steroid shot, yet this shot is a treatment and doesn't stop the cause! I'm glad I kept searching for answers.
No more shots, no more processed sugar and I am still fine with a few pieces of fruit daily. Good luck.
