bamagirl Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I have noticed here lately that I itch really bad on my face when I am syptomatic. It's really bad at night. I already take antihistamines, but it doesn't help. Just wondering if i am alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babettegall Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I have fits of itching, however, never really linked it to my symptoms. I'll have to keep an eye on that and see if there's any correlation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hi,I have itching and I have allergies. I had always assumed that it was my allergies but never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldOnToHope Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I've heard and read that itchiness can be POTS-related. Have you tried a cool shower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Glass Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I have horrible itching, only on my scalp. It started when I started the Midodrine. I also have extremely dry skin now. Which I had slightly dry skin before, but now it is horrible. Vanessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwen Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 the midodrine def makes my scalp itch. I have candidais(sic) which is a yeast imbalance in gut which causes me to have Rosacea on face (among other things). It itches terribly if I have been "bad" and eaten a lot of bread or sugar. Told dermatologist about the connection I made and he said it is one of the triggers. There is a cortisone cream I put on my face when it starts to get red and itchy. There is a hydrocortisone mist spray over the counter from neutrogena that really helps too. I never put the itchy with the pots/nmh,but it makes sense with all the mystery rashes over the years.

morgan617 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 my face and chin itch like crazy, especially during an episode...hmmmm...morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie802 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 YES, I get the itchies!!! I have a rash on my scalp that I have hydrocortisone cream 1% for, but I haven't used it because I have to make sure it's okay to use with the Florinef since they are both steroids. I have noticed that my rash gets flare ups when my POTS is worse. I actually wake up in the middle of the night and find myself itching my scalp until it bleeds...I know gross, huh?!

LisaColumbus Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I can usually tell when I am getting ready to go through a really bad phase. I get a horribly itchy rash on my upper back and back of my scalp. I also get cold sores right before a bad phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdomaracki Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Midodrine definately will create some odd and irritable itching! I started taking it just a few weeks ago, and thought i was crazy with the numbness and tingling sensation that I got especially on my scalp. But with some research, I found out that it wasn't just me. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
