I had Dermatologist visit yesterday. Followup from several months ago when i went to get a topical steroid cream for the rashes/hives I was getting. I had taken a photo of my naked chubby body that showed how my entire side i slept in was broke out. I would wake up at 1:30am totally covered in hives on the side of my body that my slept on. My nightgown was 60%cotton, 40% polyester. I went thru a period where the elastic in my underwear, anything not pure cotton when make me break out, mostly in the middle of the night. So he gave me the diagnosis of pressure urticaria hives. I Ihad other rashes also. Thanks for the advise from others in this forum i was using Aveena cream for ezcema which has colodial oatmeal in it, aloe vera, you name it I was using it. My scalp itched terribly. I started with a benadryl, which knocked me out, then went to allegra, which was my salvation. If i forgot to take one in the am, watch out at 1:30am. Trouble is, it was a 24 hr dosage and i think that was not good fo rmy liver. So i bought the 12 hour. But haven't been able to try it out yet. My liver panel numbers went way up and i didn't get to have my 4th Opdivo/Yervoy and i cannot get the Opdivo Maintenance until that improves. I have drug induced Hepatitis D. It was improving then started to rise again so i am now back up to 100mg a day of Prednisone and of course NO RASHES and can wear all the polyester and elastic I want, no itching. Monday i go in to see what the latest Petscan that i just had shows. I am nervous. I am so tired all the time, insomia, and just don't feel good. It also looks like i have white spots on the back of my hand Vitaligo. I was upset when I first saw it. Someone else on the forum said his oncologist said that means the immunotherapy was working. My dermatologist agreed and explained how the treatment was working on melanin on our skin, I can't remember everything he said.
Question please. How long does the Opdivo/Yervoy keep working in our bodies until we can get he Opdivo Maintenance and Target Therapy?
