    Have you had your liver (or is it kidneys?) Checked? problems with that can cause itchy skin.

    I would go and get your liver checked again, just to be sure.

    Definitely get some blood tests done. Something like gallstones or fatty liver can cause disruption to your liver enzymes and cause itching, which you would want to know about, or even other things to do with your kidneys, thyroid, pancreas or lymphatic system. I beleive there are some mineral/vitamin deficiencies that can cause generalised itching too. In any case, if it doesn't go away after a few days, worth getting checked out for peace of mind before you start chugging down lots of over the counter medications.

    When I was pregnant I had the PUPPS rash and after the twins were born it was supposed to go away but it took a good 8-10 weeks before it started to become bearable, the only thing that 'helped' was cortisone cream on the affected area.

    Yeah not Pupps sometimes I wish it was! Least I would have a rash and not feel nutty.

    Went to the doc today who went on about allergies I'm like.. its not allergies and if it is, there isnt a cream or pill known to man I haven't tried and none work.

    He gave me blood test, checking everything including if I'm PG again. I dont think so but you never know.

    If nothing shows up I dont know what I"ll do. I dont have gallbladder anymore, got an infection in it and had it taken out a couple years ago. I do have Non Acoholic Fatty Liver but this is hereditary and has never caused me any issues. Wish me luck I find an answer becuase its really bad today!
