What is Grover's disease of the skin?

I've been working in a fish restaurant for the past twenty years. I stopped eating tuna and swordfish about ten years ago, because of mercury, A friend of mine ate sushi almost every day for lunch until the hair on his body started falling off. He found out that it was due to all the tuna he had been eating. My cousin who is in his 80's today had all the fillings in his teeth removed and replaced about 4 years ago. After about 2 years of dormancy, my GD has reappeared, although in a limited way, thank goodness. It's just reminding me how insidious it is !!

I was first diagnosed with GD in 1992 via biopsy. Had no itch until 2007 when, after 18 months of misery, a new derm prescribed Gabapentin which worked for 13 years. It stopped working about 18 month ago and I'm using Eucerin Itch Relief when it's bad and Hydroxyzine at night to sleep. Eucerin Calming Body Wash might be helping a little, it's hard to tell. Just started Cilantro capsules a couple days ago and today ordered some Chlorella capsules.
In 2007 on a forum called Skincell, people used to talk about mercury and getting your old fillings removed. I thought that was a bit extreme and never considered it and still went into remission for the 13 years.
