I don't know what to do...

I am itchy all over and I think it might be an allergic reaction to my medicine. I can't talk to my psychiatrist this week because she is out of the office. Benadryl didn't help at all. I almost get to the point of bleeding from scratching.

i may be able to give you small bit of relief … allowing you to scratch without being abrasive.

we're talking three layers
      ◦ the itchy-skin
      ◦ the fingernails
      ◦ and a third layer [i](fabric)[/i] … placed between the two other layers.

keep the fabric stationary … gently scratch the fabric with your nails … do not move the fabric in rhythm with your scratches … keep the fabric in place. imagine the fabric is your skin and gently scratch the fabric … not the itchy skin. and watch the movement … making sure the fabric does not move.

it's percussive stimuli that is giving you relief. take care of the condition … as this is only temporary relief.
