but yeah, since Eliquis it's been worse. I'm supposed to be off it in 2 more months. The dr. is holding it over my head that the alternative is Coumadin (aka warfarin or rat poison). I better be off it in 2 more months or I am going to kill him! I can stand the itching for that much longer but no longer. I had a stent and that's the penalty. I do not and never have had a-fib.

Gold Bond isn't worth the powder to blow it to Pittsburgh, as far as I'm concerned. Not for this. Benadryl helps a tiny but but not much.
