I have been on prednisolone for 3 years and am aiming to come off it. I am down to 1mg/day. I started on Methotrexate at the beginning of December and it seems to be helping me. The itching hasn't returned, with the steroid tapering.
The problem I had with Atarax eventually, was that it caused restless legs and also I was permanently doped. I was taking 25mg. I took it at around 7pm, otherwise I didn't wake up in the morning until 9am.
What treatment are you on?

I only suffer from this allergy in the autumn/winter, so will stop taking this when spring comes.
I have also bought and taking pcynogenol, which hopefully will help, and now having light treatment, after 13 years of misery, i finally feel i am getting some-where, thanks.
