Hello @mvoge. Oh my goodness, intense itching is the worst! I had that with some of my chemotherapy and medications…that was worse than any of the other side effects, I swear! I’m so sorry you’re having to endure that! Does anything bring you relief? I hope you find some answers with your labs and testing that are come in up!

I’m sure you’ve read everything available but I found some sites about possible causes of high eosinophils and how to reduce the levels. I know…if it were only that easy!

Do antihistamines help at all? I had high eosinophil reactions to mosquito bites…do to a heightened immune response from my newly transplant bone marrow cells. I saw an immunologist/allergist who told me one of the first lines of defense after trying Benadryl or Claritin, is taking a proton pump inhibitor such as Pepcid. It worked to reduce the load. Just idea for you.

Good luck with your tests and finding answers!! Let what you find out, ok?

Thank you for the excellent ideas and references. I've read the articles and my knowledge increased. The idea of a proton pump inhibitor is new to me and I will discuss it with my doctor tomorrow.
