Body itching

Posted by Retired teacher @specialteacher, Jul 31, 2018

I’ve had almost unbearable itching for over 3 months. Was prescribed hydroxyzine, but it doesn’t seem to help. It started when I was in the ER having a very frightening allergic reaction. I was given an epinephrine iv, and a breathing treatment. My legs started to shake uncontrollably. Then I couldn’t breathe, was given an injection of something at that point. I’m taking benadryl and paxil but don’t know how much longer I can deal with this.

Get your liver checked out. I had a terrible experience with my liver enzymes and they ordered a hepatic lab test to check my bilirubin, ALT and AST for determining my liver function.

I explained my situation a few days ago so won’t go back into it.
Other than to let you know, it caused severe itching, light colored, stools, yellow eyes, and nausea.
Xyzal was a prescription for itching and what a huge relief.
My suggestion is get a hepatic lab test just to make sure your liver is not under attack and then go from there, but have your doctor in the meantime prescribe you Xyzal!!!
