Not a good night. The intense itching, especially of my palms and the soles of my feet, kept waking me.
Stopping the naproxen doesn't seem to have had any immediate affect on my symptoms. Hm... perhaps I was being too optimistic (again) thinking it would be that simple.
Yellower and yellower. When is it time to go to emerg? This is not a question to be answered whilst I am sleep deprived.
I went looking for some solutions to calm the itch on the wonderful wide web and turned up an edifying article about the possible causes and remedies. The only thing that is reputed to stop the itch is yet another prescription drug that I'll have to discuss with my doc when she calls to let me know what mysteries the bloodwork has solved.
Hopefully that call will come soon. Limbo at this point is definitely not helpful: I'm tired, stressed and unable to stop the ITCH! I've tried Benadryl last night, but not much noticeable relief. Sort of understandable. For now, I'll try some sunburn type remedy. If I can get it turned down just a notch, maybe I can sleep or read to distract myself.
