Thanks girls. She is on the high dose prednisone for a kidney rejection. She has had a very bad rejection and is on huge doses of anti-rejection drugs. Up until a fortnight ago it looked like she was heading back to dialysis. Its a long term thing (although not on this dose) I just wish there was something more I can do. I know she is using bio-oil which I told her I thought it wouldn't help the itch and dryness and is also using the Dermaveen. She is my age so its just horrid (and I think I have problems sometimes). I can't believe her kidney specialists dont have any advise except put up with it.
