Regular Member donp Posted December 31, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Its been 2 days since my transplant. I am starting to have serious ITCHING right now and its not going away. Benadryl is not helping either. What could I do to relieve it? (I am putting a post-op spray regularly and that seems to help for a while but then itching starts again).

Regular Member Gin0rm0usF0rehead Posted December 31, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted December 31, 2011 Ask your HT doc for prescription anti-itch medication. You need something stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member donp Posted December 31, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) hm... I wouldn't risk applying olive oil, haha... b/w: for others, benadryl "spray" in addition to post-op spray does help.

Regular Member LadyNeedsHair Posted January 1, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted January 1, 2012 Have you thought about maybe putting the spray in the refrigerator so it's cold when you spray it,... might be a more cooling sensation and help with the itching. (I just went thru the same thing last week - 2 Benadryl helped but made me super sleepy!)

Regular Member donp Posted January 1, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) I was doing the same mistake earlier, i.e. taking benedryl in tablet form, its the "spray" form that will help!
