Does Anyone Think It Could Be A Side Effect Of COVID?
A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm curious if anyone has had IVig or… read more

Origin
A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I don't mean to be too personal but did most people get this wicked disease from ongoing stress?. Really wondering where it originated from. Maybe we will never really know.
