What Causes Persistent Itching Despite Taking Medrol Dose Pack And Benadryl?

I have had a horrible itch/burn with no lesions on my upper arms - on and off for the past several years. I cannot sleep. I have recently been given a Medrol dose pack - celestone injection, benedryl and topical creams...NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP. It is driving me crazy and I am crawling out of my own skin..Any suggestions

I have a time tested relief, if you follow you will wonder how such normal things help in Ayurveda.

Immediately start taking Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp twice a day with normal water twice a day. I would like you to add Neem (Azarichata indica) leaves powder or crushed fresh leaves and sugar candy powder (If you are not diabetic), all in equal ratio. Mean to say all these three combined or whatever you can take, start at once.

In India these are commonly available. Elsewhere Haridra capsules (which is turmeric) and Neem Capsules are available globally. Find on net. Sugarcandy may be found everywhere. Grind it.

Happily answer me after two weeks with betterment. If you have to take other med, there is no interaction problem. Cheer up now. Do the Karma - be in action - and collect above three and this would be the first step towards your happiness.
