It started yesterday at work, about/around 2:30. My boobs started itching like crazy. I thought it was the bra, maybe a frayed edge or something, but I work with all guys, so I couldn't exactly duck into the bathroom, yank off the offending article, and work braless the last hour and a half. Plus, I'm just a leeetle too heavy to do that comfortably, and I really didn't want to be readjusting the masses every five minutes or so. So, I managed as best I could, and almost as soon as I was off the clock, off came the bra. Was still itchy the rest of the night, though.
So, morning, shower and lotion, thinking maybe it was dry skin. Put on clean bra, and ITCH ITCH ITCH!!! Grr. Even with bra off, still itching like crazy. I ended up calling off work today because of the itch factor. Doing some research on WebMD, looks like it's either allergies, menopause, or chronic kidney failure. :/ Great. Well, pcos does have some similarities to menopause in symptoms, but I'm already on a type of hormone therapy (bcp). Chronic kidney disease, I don't even want to think about. So, we went to Target to get some Claratin and some new laundry detergent, without dyes or perfumes, in case it was the detergent.
Still itchy, but I just took the Claratin half an hour ago. We shall see. Plus, I'm off tomorrow as it is, so that'll be another day for the antihistamines to work into my system before I have to go back to work. I just wish as a part-timer that I had sick time to use. :( Oh well.
