I have never, never, in my life, itched like this. I feel like I have mosquito bites covering my entire body. It's everything I can do not to scratch myself bloody bloodier, or rub the soles and knuckles of my feet against the floor until the skin is worn off. Arrrgh!!! There's been odd itching through most of the time I've been sick, but not like this! Even better, not knowing yet just what the hell is wrong with me, I don't know if it's safe for me to take any antihistamines. I don't know if that would be bad for me if my liver is compromised.

Thanks, but no; more cowbell does not help.

On the plus side, I seem to be feeling a bit better other than that. I don't have the usual strong nausea and discomfort I've been getting every night. My stomach doesn't feel quite so much like a brick that wants to stay in one place when the rest of my body moves around it. Between the two causes of inability to sleep, I honestly can't say which I prefer.



I also need to offer here my appreciation to moiracoon. She has been a godsend in spending her entire weekend tirelessly and cheerfully caring for me, making special trips to the grocery store for me, making food for me, and keeping me distracted by watching Babylon 5 with me. Without her, I really don't know how I would have tolerated the last week or so, and I am deeply, deeply grateful.
