LS + Herpes Zoster
Posted , 7 users are following.
Does anyone who suffer from LS also have itchy skin on the legs + arms as well?
I had itchiness on my legs which lasted for for months living in Swiss central heating environment. They practically disappeared when I went back to Hawaii and was able to swim in the ocean in February/March. I just returned to Switzerland less than a week ago, the rashes are returning on my legs and a little on the arm in a big way. This time they look like "Herpes Zoster" (like goose pimples and opening liquids).
Granted that I have a compromised auto-immume system (when stress levels are high, exhaustion from packing/traveling etc), all these symptoms act out i.e. more itchiness and sensitivity around the vagina as well. Also, the fact that I am now back in 'central heating' environment where I am living now.
I am making an appointment to see a dermatologist in Germany next week.
To avoid going around in circles with the so-called ‘specialists’, I would very much appreciate narrowing down and ask my LS commmunity for their wisdom based on your experiences and observations. I have more faith in my peer group because you guys live with this condition daily.
If not, what kind of questions do I need to ask to get closer to the solution. Thanks all.

have food intolerences say for example gluton, dairy ,suffer from what is known as an itchy liver. This can come about over many years.it means that the liver is not functioning 100 percent and is very common. You also find that these people usually have other auto immune diseases like vetiligo which I also have. About 3 years ago I had a huge sore on my leg that took 6 or so months to heal, the doctor was at a loss and was going to do a biopsy to see what it was, but at the last minute after using very strong steroids it cleared up. This was about a year before I was diagnosed with LS. I don't understand it fully but I think it's all to do with our immune system .i need to ask her to explain the itchy liver condition a bit more to me.
