Body itching
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!!!

A biopsy is an insensitive test for scabies as told to me by Pathologist. You need a skin scraping done on multiple areas of your body. If you have crusted or Norweigan scabies the CDC recommends application of Permethrin cream head to toe as well as Ivermectin oral tablets. Patients taking Prednisone are more susceptible to scabies
