Hep B vaccine reaction of Pruritis (Itching) update

[mrideout]

Well it has been almost ten weeks of hell and I am finally starting to feel better.The itching seems to be fading 60 to 75% better. Hopefully it continues and completely fades. I stopped taking prednisone almost 2 weeks ago and am just taking herbal supplements. Whether they helped or not I dont know, just thankful this is finally starting to go away.

I caution anyone who wants these shots to read about the myriad of possible side effects and make an informed decision either way.

I am 31 yr old female who had sever adverse reaction to Hep b vaccine Have been suffering for over a yr.with neurlogical problems, have been tested for all kinds of diseases all tests come back neg.  Symptoms started within a week of the hep b vaccine.  I advise against the vaccine unless you are a extreme risk for exposure to hep b.

Thanks New Sojourn. I sympathize with anyone that has Pruritis. I went through hell after the Hep B vaccine shot and will never have another. Each day seems to be getting a bit better.

Glad that damnible itching is going away.  My's here to stay.  Pruritis is so hard to imagine or describe to someone else.  I do a maintance dosages of anti-histimines and avoid 'triggers', such as too much spices and caffine and citrus.

Good luck.  Don't let anything else get under your skin!

Hey...it'll get better...as you said..it already has. It's soon to be a NEW Year...let me leave ya with some positive thoughts...."what goes around comes (back) around" <I TRULY BELIEVE THIS ONE..... "what's up must come down or sideways or  I don't know ...must be BFog"  Oh when a door closes a window opens..or is it the garage doo?..or the doggy dooe?.. I forgot.

Anyway be positive...this New Year will be what we make it...Take care, berlynn

Thanks, I still go through times every day where the itching really intensifies, but not as much as the last 2 months and overall it bothers me a bit less each day but by no means is it gone yet. I can only hope more time will completely clear this up. I have a ways to go.
