Hi Shannonplussed
I started getting sore boobs again after 18 months of everything being fine and also started to itch big time and I couldn't control the itching with antihistamine. I did drop to 3 pumps and then down to 2.
It started with the sore boobs,as I say, almost like I got when I first started the gel. The itching started on my temples at first and then spread to me scratching my head like my head was itching and then it moved to me scratching my belly and the itching woke me at night. It built up over about 6 weeks to 8 weeks so I thought, it sounded a bit like when some people start gel and their symptoms get worse as their body adjusts to the gel but the dose hasn't levelled out yet. So I started to drop it, over a period of about 6 weeks until I was down to 2 pumps and it stopped. Everything has been fine since and its been like that now for about 2 months.
I have been on this regime for around about 2 years now...blimy where does the time go, I think that's right, I lose track of time!. All I know is I have to play around with this regime because I dont have other choices so I tried stuff out when I started from what I learnt here, but had to be very patient and so when changes started I knew I had to play around again but its worked.
