Thanks for your suggestions.
> I'd honestly say from your symptoms...try a few things. First, you might want to improve the quality of your sleep.Good idea. Ambien worked very well last night. I don't know why it didn't the night before. But I felt a bit better this morning. Of course the rest of the day I felt like I was falling apart, but at least I had sleep.

> For your rash, a couple of things. One, take a good oral long-lasting anti-histamine..maybe talk to your pharmacist about this? Also, apply cortisone cream 24/7.I take Claritin every day. I'd hate to think of how itchy it would be without. I do have various anti-itch stuff from my dermatologist I could try. Or hydrocortisone. (sheepish look...I've been complaining but not doing much to help it myself).
>Also, loperamide (generic name) is a great antidiarrheal.
That does work well for me, but how often can I take it as far as treating a long term thing?
