Had COVID 19 back in May of this year. Was on paxlovid seemed to help after 5 days then had a COVID bounce back then felt fine . Then middle of June started with the extreme itching at night now a month later after being on prednisone more antihistamines , been to three doctors treating scabies but it turned out to be . Saw a dermatologist yesterday she really didn’t provide much help, except change a few things . I’m still on prednisone and see an allergist this Tuesday. I have to say I’ve discussed post with doctors some are on board with it but not until they eliminate everything else . Lab work chem liver and kidney was fine . This is very frustrating and prednisone is giving me side effects now . Any one else experiencing this ?

I’m a 2 1/2 year long hauler. Had the itching…Mine is self diagnosed based on the research on the internet. Citerizine(Zyrtec +Famotidine (Pepcid) to treat over expressing cytokines which is causing many long haul problems. Histamine is the culprit of the itching.
These are over the counter meds. Cures the problem. Tames the cytokine activity. You will be lucky if you find any doctor that can tell you anything that is beyond trial and error. If you Google the combo for treatment of Covid you can find lots of info doctors haven’t paid enough attention to.
