This is the 4th time I've typed this darn thing!
Hello all. I'm new and I was diagnosed 5 years ago. But for the past 3 years I have experienced an intense itching, mostly limited to my legs, with no visible markings. It is such an unnerving problem it drives me crazy sometimes. SO today, it kept me from working. I went to Urgent care and he gave me chlomipramine. I h ave read a few things on this and I have read that it has a lot of side effects. A shower or shaving usually sets off the itching, temperature change has nothing to do with it. I have eliminated regular soap and I use aveeno baby wash without actual soap in it. I have even changed my laundry detergent to dreft baby. ALso, I have used Aveeno lotion 24 hour moisturizer with menthol in it, to help relieve the itch. I use it everyday, so I know my skins not overly dry. My liver has been tested, I have had an allergy test... None of these things seems to make any difference, so I am hoping this medication helps. Has anyone had a similar problem? What kind of treatment has worked for you? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanx! [8D]
