Pop's Itching
Hello,
My father says his itching may be from the blood transfusions. He has been itching allot, kind of a under skin thing; however it's at its worse for a few days after transfusions. He gets 2 units about every other, to every week, and mostly one bag of platelets per week. The itching has increased with the increase of blood treatments.
At first he thought it may be the chemo, or the Procrit or neuprogin, but it was not there all the time until his need for blood increased. How does he deal, he has learned to ignore it. Don't ask me how.
Hope this helps.
