My life changed dramatically on Mother's Day 2013. Three days later I was diagnosed with cancer from my physician. This blog was made to keep my family and friends informed to what has been happening to me the past few weeks. When I find out news from different Doctor's through all of the procedures I have had, so many of you have wanted me to text, email, call, or someway contact you. It humbles me how many of you are concerned. Sometimes I forget to contact some of you. This way, you can stay in touch with what is happening now. Please feel free to comment. I hope I have it set up so you can. If not, I will ask Emily my daughter to help me, since she helped me get this set up.

Itching........and more itching.......and......

I have always had itching with Nexavar. I have been off of it now about a month.  A week ago I had a new sensation of itching.  From under my skin. The first night, I fell asleep at 5:30 am.  Next night, 1:30 am.  Last night I got about 3 1/2 hours.  I called my doctor for something to help me sleep through the itching.  I got Ambien, and I can't even sleep through itching with Ambien! I am goofy after taking it and can't walk around very well, but sleep?  Not through the itching.  If anyone has ANY IDEAS..... Please share.  I am taking Atarax for itching, benedryl, Allegra, trying Lortab, prescription creams, and I have tried some other things also.  And I seem to get little electrical zaps, (is what if feels like) and it makes me jump. I itch during the day, but nothing like early evening on.  Eye lids, ears, roof of mouth, palms, soles of feet, and every other body part. Help! Is this normal?

My take on it is that toxins from Nexavar are still trying to work themselves out through my skin.  Then what do I do about it?

Itch, itch.
There's not a stitch.
Of skin that doesn't itch, itch itch.

Okay.  That's corny TL

    How horrible that must be! You certainly have had your share of side effects from that med! I hope it stops very soon for you!
