I found the answer on another website. I'm so excited! This condition has prevented me from working out for so long - it's terrible.
You have to take an antihistimine... It stops your skin from itching when you have an allergic reaction. You know how you get extra itchy when you have an allergic reaction to something. I'm assuming something like a non-drowsy Benedryl or something equal would work.
My itching/scratching episodes would begin as early as 1/4 of a mile and I am in my 30s. It has been terrible but since I've been taking hydroxizine (for itching) I haven't had an episode yet! My doctor prescribed hydroxizone for me some time ago and when I saw the advice to take it on a website...I thought - I have some allergy pills left and decided to try it and it's working! The itching when walking or running definitely isn't an allergy but it the allergy medication does cure the itching. I guess its because you do itch like crazy when having an allergic reaction to something and the antihistimine stops the itching. I've tried everything else so I thought I'd try it and it worked the very first time.
I have been dealing with this condition for some years now. I can't believe it. I was actually back on line looking for the site where I found the info to let everyone know it worked. I found this in my search for the site and wanted to let you all know. It really works! You have to try it... believe me.
