interesting...will keep up with this thread. trying an over the counter antihistamine like benadryl might work (Sedating, maybe could help with itchiness even though you don't have hives).

how do you know your liver enzymes are up anyway? liver disease can cause itchiness...but usually not all of a sudden like this.

go to the doctor.

go to a drug store and get some Benadryl.
take 2 opills and 4 hours later take 2 more.
Not any more than that.

Are you taking pennicillan? Amoxicillan>?etc?? you may be having a reaction
go to the Doctor/Hospital if so.NOW.

Hmm, did you ever have chicken pox or were you taking pills and having an allergic reaction? I know I started to itch like crazy when I took a pill and it was caused by being allergic to sulfur thats in the pill itself.

Hope your liver turns out fine. It might be out of whack with whatever is making you itch.

I have excema on my hands that causes them to itch/crack/get dry/etc.. if I don't use a cream or lotion on them. I also have to avoid certain soaps and lotions cause it just makes it worse.

Anyway hopefully its not your liver. :(

Why are you asking us? We're going to tell you wrong information.


Liver failure= bad. You can't take like any medicines, very dangerous.

next time you're hungry, eat something that's not cereal. maybe you all of a sudden got a food allergy.. crispix.. that's corn and rice, isn't it. ok.. eat something that's not corn or rice or milk. see if it sits better than the cereal. at this point, you've probably read way too much and are worrying yourself to death.
