I tried slathering myself in some lotion, but honestly, it hasn't done a thing.
Does anyone know of a reliable remedy to soothe this maddening itch? I’m trying my absolute best to stay calm and stop scratching, but it’s becoming an uphill battle, and I’ve ended up with some pretty nasty scratch marks. 😳 They aren't exactly pleasant to look at.

I remember when Kamagel used to be the go-to solution, but it seems like they haven't carried it in ages; I’ve spent way too much time scouring every local pharmacy in the area looking for it.

Get this—some lady at a holistic shop over in Oakland actually tried to hawk some Kamagel to me this morning... maybe try hitting up those natural remedy spots, see if they have any 🙂

So, I just got my bloodwork back...

Iron levels are sitting at 57.2
UIBC is at 6.3

Everything else looks totally fine and within the normal range

It’s pretty obvious something is definitely off here, but I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with numbers like this? What does this even mean? (I'm planning to redo the tests in a month, and if they still look this wonky, I'll go see a hematologist)

My diet is pretty standard and healthy, and I don't take any supplements or anything like that...
