I tried several kinds of antihistamines, plus Singulair,
and a bunch of different creams. All I got were
hives, bruises, welts, rashes
and misery. This was complicated by seasonal allergies, to the point where I felt like one giant, quivering, itching ganglion. Picture the Primal Scream painting. That's me. I wanted to gouge my eyes out from itching too. Believe me, I tried everything.
I emailed my neuro this morning, having found that a good way to proceed.
