Hi @colleenyoung
Sorry this response is so tardy.
My Neurologist got it!
I was hopeful that I would have helpful answers regarding this skin itch which is not visible. It has continued since JULY 14 exactly 7 day after the COVID positive test. This condition has lasted 4 months.
I have been to three prominent doctors in the Chicago area. Changing body and clothes soaps were suggested. Nothing had an affect on my skin’s itch. Even after prednisone packet and cream and suggesting changing my diet. Some had doubts.
I started my own experiments to see if any products would help. A few were Aspercream a lidocaine with minimal effects. Ordered ZIM’S max freeze with greater relief and longer lasting.
Sarna skin cream moistened my skin and XYZAL.
I finally went to my neurologist! This week!!! in November. He gave me the diagnosis itch from COVID.
He took me off of Hydroyoxzine Hydrochlordide 25mg too sedating. Prescribed by a Dr in July. All it did was make me sleep and not addressing the root of the problem.
The itch follows a nerve path from my upper left shoulder blade to under my arm. Left side of my head itches. At times my nose looses the sense of smell.
My neurologist has prescribed neurontin. Within a few days I had RELIEF. It takes about 45 minutes to give relief. If I don’t stay on the 3x daily stay on schedule the itch returns.
To all of the people who have this awful condition it is not in your mind! Don’t give up. Find a doctor that can give you a diagnosis.
