no side effects, but of course, we're all different. I rarely notice side effects from drugs...

helps. It has menthol like stuff in it. Anyway sometimes I go nuts and I can't sleep because of itching and the gold bond helps. I haven't done this in a while because I can't use my tub now but taking a bath in epsom salts used to help too. I think it is because epsom salts draws things out of your skin.

Good luck to you

Worth a try.

but yeah, since Eliquis it's been worse. I'm supposed to be off it in 2 more months. The dr. is holding it over my head that the alternative is Coumadin (aka warfarin or rat poison). I better be off it in 2 more months or I am going to kill him! I can stand the itching for that much longer but no longer. I had a stent and that's the penalty. I do not and never have had a-fib.

Gold Bond isn't worth the powder to blow it to Pittsburgh, as far as I'm concerned. Not for this. Benadryl helps a tiny but but not much.

I had an angioplasty to improve blood flow to lower extremities a few days after the pacemaker. What I really need is to deal with plaque at the bifurcation of my right carotid artery, but doctor says the location makes that procedure too risky for a stroke.

The left side is essentially blocked off, per the cardiologist, but with the stent the right side is compensating very well, so he says I have a good few years left if I mind my diet and exercise.

I am on low-dose aspirin (for blood flow following angioplasty lower extremities 9 months ago) AND Eliquis for blood flow to prevent stroke. That's what my vascular surgeon says.

I have little pock marks all over from scratching.(not my face, thankfully) I can't take it any more.

My primary doc suggests the supplement quercetin for it. I will try, but lordy, lordy,

Plavix and Eliquis. I have switched to an oatmeal soap and it's slightly better but still not gone. I hate Eliquis.
