I've always had the condition and the past few years have managed the itching with normal, cheap antihistamines which have worked really well.
Since finding out just over a month ago that I'm pregnant (I'm between 8 and 11 weeks) the itching has gotten progressively worse, it's stopping me from getting to sleep if it starts up, it's making work a little difficult (would you want to buy stuff from someone scratching their legs behind the till?) and is driving me totally crazy!
I saw the GP on Friday and was prescribed some aqueous calamine cream, it's soothing the itching a little but not totally getting rid of it, so the itch/scratch cycle can still carry on. Is there anything else I can ask for if this doesn't help much? It's just making me feel so miserable and the thought of up to another seven months of this makes me wince!
