I have been taking Amazon brand All Day Allergy 10 mg and within 45 minutes or so the itching is gone. My Oncologist said it is ok to take it. I see her next week. I am also using the NY Biology Tea Tree Body Wash with cool water to shower and so far it seems to help. It is unbearable sometimes!

Hi. I was told that Jakafi would take care of itching. Not so! Lately, I've been taking Benadryl and a non-itching cream.

I found showering in lukewarm water made the itching less bothersome. Also, when my RBC count is below normal, I can take warmer showers.

Oh yes and thank goodness for a back scratcher. My back is the only place I itch and I'm glad of that.
