A little over 4 months since my hive breakout. Still have dermographia. Taking a half-dose Xyzal (2.5mg) ever 3 days helps a lot. Well, it helps for 2 days, then I tough it through the third becasue I don't want to get hooked on an H1 antagonist. Since my last Test P blast, I rant a 2 week...

OK, week 5 passed this past Saturday night. Still having the symptoms, although they seem to be continuing to diminish. It's like it's some sort of percentage decrease over time, where each day is slightly better, but not as better as the difference between the previous 2 days. Like...

Although there are a few outliers, the consensus seems to be a Test P half-life of 4.5 days. I'm doing Bill Roberts 2 on/4 off. Supposedly (supposedly) that's not enough time for a complete shutdown. Nolva might help, but in the past I've recovered fine using Chlomid 50mg EOD. Last 2 weeks I...

OK boyos, just to prove idiocy is alive and well. Yes, still got it, it being dermatophagia. Very mild, but evident, with varying degrees of intensity throughout the day. Still believe the overall trend is that it's on the wane. But Monday was supposed to be the start of my next 2-week...

Opps, misplaced pronoun. Wife is not an attorney, the mediator is an attorney. Not looking for prospects yet... and when I will be, won't be interested in getting all emotional about it, that's for sure

Thanks - We're hoping to get it all done through a professional mediator. She happens to be a lawyer, but a mediation doesn't involved the court or dueling banjos. We're pretty well off already, and retirement, even split, will still be comfortable.

I'm looking forward to it!

Don't think I haven't thought about it. But I don't want to sit through a financial discovery tryig to explain a $300 cash withdraw every week. Anyway, we are on friendly terms. No acrimony. Just grew apart and realized we didn't belong together anymore. Married for almost 28 years, BTW...

Separated, still married, divorce pending, stuck in limbo.... which is to say, what sex life?

Nope, no meds, nor any supplements I hadn't already been taking for years. Diet in point. Marriuage broke up and I moved out 4 months ago and have pretty much been doing meal prep and eating the same things every day. The occasional meal out, a beer here and there, the odd treat, but nothing I...

When the rashes first appeared, it was random and all over, red welts and ares that would appear, itch insanely, and then fade. This was the cycle for about 3 days. The standard appearance and behavior of hives. After that, the welts and rashes would appear in response to pressure or...

Another update in case anyone cares. Day 26, still getting red "rash" response to scratching/hard rubbing. Response differs in severity and duration, with morning and days being better than evenings, when it seems to get worse. I would still say it is slowly resolving. Coming up on 4 weeks...

Thought I'd throw out another update. Day 18 and Still get a red rash from scratching or vigorous rubbing, but it takes more pressure, the rash isn't a red or as intense, doesn't itch, and fades in 20 - 30 minutes. There is still some variation though, as yesterday was a bit worse than the day...

Updating just in case other people run into the same issue. Day 10 and the dermatographism (pressure response rash and hives) is a better, but still there. I was dosing Zyrtec at double the package dose, 10mg every 12 hours. Also loading up on supplements that are supposed to help with hives...

No, not heat rash. Working out, run in the heat (Florida), hot showers, no issue. It's caused by rubbing or scratching my skin. In the beginning, even fairly light touches or rubs would raise a red rash. Now it takes a bit more pressure, but still. Kinda worried about when I finished the pred...
