      Has anyone found relief from the constant itching besides the Aveeno creme and hydroxyzine 30mg.  She was up most of the night and found little relief.  I know it takes time for this to pass but any little trick or suggestion is appreciated.

          Have you tried Benadryl by mouth and Vaseline on the skin? I seem to remember using those.

                For itching, I love Sarna lotion – it works when nothing else does.  It also has a cooling effect.  It's available at most drug stores.
