      Bubbles et al:  3 months ago I posted about my itching being worse.  Here I am 2 days from my next quarterly treatment and I am worse again.  I'm always somewhat itchy but it seems I get worse just before the next infusion. Interesting.     Dan

          Hey Dan,

          Sorry for the itch that rashes. Only two more anti-PD1 infusions left for me…if grace be willing…this month and in June…and the only words of wisdom I can share…a phrase I had to work to eradicate from daughter’s vocabulary a few years back…”Dude! Random!” This “randomness” has been consistent throughout my treatment….no matter if we’re talking arthralgias, mouth ulcers, fatigue or itching. Hydrocortisone cream, moisturizers and benadryl have been the only things that have helped me. Timing in regard to treatment has seemed rather irrelevant. I will say that often my area of itching has preceeded vitiligo…but now that it covers so much of me…it is hard to tell. My husband puts it in this positive light…”Go get ’em…angry little T-cells!”
          Hang in there! C
