Migraine

Good Morning everyone,

I hae a question about a blood work done in house. I have had issues with itching sometimes a rash is there. It has been going on for weeks. Went to my doctor and she ran some test and two of them came back negitive. She sent off for the rest of the testing. What type of infections would my doctor be looking for with a head pain, low grade fever and itching with or without a rash.

I was just needing to know if I could take Benadlyn and she had me come in to the office to be check up. So I'm not sure what warns her the check me. Hope someone can give me a direction because this is itch is driving me crazy.

I'm not sure what type of testing they would have run, but I do know I had the same issue when I was coming off of Topamax. I would get really itchy - scratch it, and get little tiny bumps from scratching. That would make me even more itchy, so I kept scratching.....it was a cycle.

I went to the dermatologist and they game me a cream to put on twice a day. It was thick and didn't soak in well, but it helped! I used it every day for a week (or two) and I was all good.

Sometimes I still get the rash if I scratch, but not nearly what it was. I also used Aveeno anti itch cream that I keep in my purse just in case. It really does work!

Thanks I will try that. This rash and itching is all over my body. It's even in my unmentionable area. I itch day and night. Something topical would help. Since I had mingintsit ( I think that it) I think everyone panics. or not. I also thought maybe they are migraine related.

It happens 5 min. before a migraine. Then BANG it hits hard. I'm done for the night.All I can do is wait to see what the test say and question them about about it.

I'd think there would be all kinds of things it could potentially be. It's better just to be patient and let your doctor keep trying to help you sort it out. If she can't get to the bottom of things, then perhaps it's time to see a dermatologist.

At any rate, I hope this is cleared up and you're free of the itchiness very soon.

Update:

Thanks for the support. I'll be talking to the neruo today about what has been happening. Not sleeping and itching and such. I guess see what other options there are for me.

This has got me all feeling crazy. seriously. So so sorry to whom reads this. My behavior has been so wack. This just isn't me. Wanting to post in the Tea room but can't get a thought off. So can someone please let Megan know I need info about FMLA. I have become a go between the doctor and the case manger. May loss my job on this one.

Ok. Laters.

Did you try the search tool for FMLA? I just punched in just "FMLA" and got ALL THESE HITS. It took about a nanosecond.

Here are a couple of main articles, separated out from all the hits.
