Hello all !

This morning i woke up with big itch on the chest , neck , shoulders and the skin was red in some parts. About 1 hour.
Terrible feeling !
It's a itch like "urticaria" , i ask to myself what could i use to calm it down.
Should i consider it the first big "side effect" ?
Please ,  should i use any cream ? Antihistamine ?

Today i start the week 7 with 4 pills.
No improvement from last week.

Thanks

This is called a flush.
You become all red, starting from the top of your head, the feeling is a tintling, itchy sensation like if piles of little needles are stuck into your skin.
You cannot calm it down, just go through it.
For me it is very doable, indeed it takes between half and one hour. It should not really be painful.

It is the most feelable, but harmless side effect. The other two side effects, intestinal cramps and lowering lymphocytes are by far more important.

But.... the flush is a signal that the drug is working.
