Itching for 3 years now

Hello, I am 52 year old woman who lives in India. I have been itching for 3 years now. I take
antihistamine tablets every 3rd day to get relief from Itching. If, however, I don't take these
tablets, I itch all over the body and start getting rash over the skin. In last 3 years I have seen
numerous doctors, gone through various types of test, like blood test etc. Unfortunately, all the
efforts turned futile.

Let me give a little insight towards my medical history. In early 2001, few months before I started
complaining of itching, I started getting anxiety attacks. Therefore my doctor prescribed me Restyl
(Alprazolam Sustained Release) Tablets (0.5mg)to curb my anxiety and Niterest (ZOLIPIDEM
TARTRATE)to help me sleep through the night. It took me two years to realize that may be itching is
a side effect of Alrazolam, therefore slowly I reduced the intake Alprazolam Sustained Release. Now
for last two months, I've ben totally off of Alrazolam. But there is no respite in my Itching. I
still itch in the same way. Currently I am on Nite(ZOLIPIDEM TARTRATE) and antihistamine tablets
(for Itching).

I read somewhere Liver disease could also cause to Itch. I highly doubt that I've a liver disease
that went undiagnosed for 3 years.

I really don't know what to do ? I am just wondering any help or any insight in this regard.

Thanks very much Sakuntala
 
At your age it is possible that you may be suffering from itching through hormonal imbalance , this
is not uncommon . Problem is that all drugs have side effects which can easily differ from person to
person . Get hold of a good quality progesterone cream - make sure it is a natural progesterone and
is not synthetic and try that , you may be surprised at the results as your hormones come into
balance . Of course being in India there are probably many exotic parasites that you may have no
natural immunity to , it may be worthwhile seeking a doctor who practices good alternative care
because it seems you are getting nowhere with the conventional approach .

Hope this helps .
