Itchy skin

[muggzz 7]

I am four months post op. I have a hard time taking Vitamins, they make me terribly nauseous ... So I stopped taking them. I do take the Calcium.< /p>

I don't know if it is associated but the past three weeks I have had terribly itchy skin on my legs , butt, waist, Upper arms. I went to primary and she couldn't figure it out. Definitely NOT bedbugs I ripped my house and bedrooms apart. They are like red hives, they get red and raised for no reason all different times of the day. Recently my legs and lower stomach is black and blue. My weight loss has been slower than I thought it would be, I exercise at least 4x per week...both cardio and weight training. I get in my Protein and Water. Can this all be from a Vitamin deficiency? I have a doctors appt next Friday with my Endo and surgeons. I am on no meds currently .

I've never heard of this before and am glad you are going into see your doctor. I will tell you that I did have some itchy skin issues but I have become a lotion freak and that has really helped. I also get bruises all the time now. Bruises can be a sign of anemia from not taking your Vitamins and can be dangerous. I went in to get checked and was fine but I would mention it to your doctor.

I would advise you to take your Vitamins. If the brand you are taking makes you nauseated try a different brand. It is so important to get those vitamins in.

Good Luck!

I concur with @@kranky813

Talk to your doc and find a brand of Vitamins that don't make you ill...

Get whatever tests done and stay on top of things...

Good luck to you...

@@muggzz, have you had any antibiotics recently? Both of my antibiotic allergies showed up as hives like that, and they didn't start until after I was done with the antibiotics = ten days later for one of them.

I got very itchy postop, turns out I had a local skin reaction to my heparin and lovenox injections.

I sure hope they ID the problem. It's maddening itching all the time!

No antibiotics. I have been off all meds since post op and sugar levels still good! Thanks guys wish I could figure this out!
