I have MDS, diagnosed last summer. My ferratin levels are consistently 800-1000. By January of this year began experiencing migrating itching all over my body, esp in my hands, less in my feet. It is in other places also. I started taking Cetirizine HCL (allergy med) and it stopped entirely. However, my ophthalmologist said I need to be careful with antihistamine meds if I have increased eye pressure. Now I am itching all over again. I use lotion (short lived) and sometimes Voltran Cream if I'm itching so bad I am excoriating my skin.

@emaddox how are you doing? Has your hematologist suggested anything for the itching?
