Hives, Welts, Itching

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello Team,
Hope you are all doing ok?
Does anyone have any issues with hives, welts and itching either from bug bites or from the medication. I seem to get little help from the Allure Anti Histamine I am taking at night. I am on Darzalex Fastpro, Pomalyst and Dex for the last 4 month.

Agree. Works havoc on one’s sense of wellbeing, particularly the insomnia. I describe its effects as “feeling ragged”. (I made that term up).

The Dapsone made me itch like a mofo with hives and scars on my legs. At some point I guess my body got used to it. Currently the Neuropothy is the most annoying but when I had to take Dex it made me feel like I was bi-polar with moodswings and not being able to sleep then going into despair a few days after the two days I had to take it. I have had OCD, depression and anxiety all my life and I'm fairly certain I'm not bi-polar but that is how it made me feel.

I'm on a regimen of Pomalyst, Darzalex Faspro, and Dex. This causes me to have rosacea on my face. My oncologist prescribed Pepcid, 20 mg tabs, two times per day. It helps! My dermatologist also prescribed a topical cream for my face.
I take Xyzal for allergic rhinitis. Take care. Hope you get some relief.
