Hi, Jeanie.
Thank you, our dear friend. Sheila is pretty well over the MS flare, although her muscles in her right hip, thigh, and leg still have that bruised feeling.
We were surprised that the itching returned. Sheila is not supposed to take Benadryl, or any OTC's, but this morning, she said, "Nuts with it!" and took an allergy pill, and within the hour, the itching stopped.
She said the oxy relieves the pain in her spine, enough to cope with itching.
She has an appt. with her DO on Monday, and she is going to ask him to prescribe the Hydroxyzine HCL.
She is only taking 2.5 mg. 3 times a day. She's tried cutting back, but then, she is in pain again.
Jeanie, thank you for your continued prayers.
Oh, before I forget, Sheila asked me to tell you, when it is time for you to have your colonoscopy, don't let them give you SUPREP. She said it was the only bowel prep. that made her severely ill.
Jeanie, you are always in our prayers.
We wish you a joyous Easter.
Rich
