Would Any Support Team Members Be Willing To Email The FDA?
A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have exhausted all avenues to find out when the FDA is going to approve the new drug Nemolizumab to the thousands of us suffering from this horrific disease as I have been dealing w/this on my scalp for 15 years. I looked up their website & found their email & have decided I am going to contact them whether they will reply or not, before I go totally insane as it has totally affected my quality of life! I am a fossil & would like to somewhat enjoy the last chapter of my life with some… read more

This Is A Comment. I Had Felt As If I Was Making Progress On My Scalp With Dupixent And Using Topicals. Then…
A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭

Yesterday I sprayed an instant root cover up, from the drug store, on my grey roots. It has totally killed my scalp. I am back to a pre-dupixent, pre anything condition. The nodules doubled and it is so painful I cannot touch my hair, let alone my scalp. Two days ago it was better than it had ever been. I am just writing this because I had no idea this could happen to such an extreme. I am weary today with the struggle.

Have You Ever Found Even One Or Two Full Days Of Relief Without Itching?
A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭

Some parts of the day are usually better than others. But, in a year since this started, I don't think there has been a day where my mom hasn't woken up itchy.

A MyPrurigoTeam Member

Kat2-I do have some none itchy days. I use ice packs to stop the itching. But every now and then I have a non itchy day and declare myself making progress but it is all a fantasy. lol!!

Has Anyone Tried The Bleach Baths And Did It Help? My Derm Wants Me To Do This And I Hate To Take Baths. Just Wondered If It's Worth It.
A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭
A MyPrurigoTeam Member

If you have never tried a bleach bath I would consider it. Truly it is no worse than a public swimming pool smellwise. It only calls for 1/2 cup for a full tub but do not use with epson salts or other… read more
