So I was diagnosed with Cholestasis but a pretty mild case.  They put me on medicine and the itching went away.  Well yesterday it came back pretty fierce despite the medicine.  I went in yesterday for blood work and then today to get results, it came back normal.  The Doctor, who I hadn't met before, upped my dose of medicine and her only other advice was to take Benadryl.  She was pretty adamant about it.  However last time I took Benadryl it just made me tired and my feet and hands still itched.  I was able to fall asleep eventually but it wasn't a very restful sleep.  Also the baby didn't move as much as a result of the medicine.  Since one of the risks of Cholestasis is an increased risk of stillborn, I don't feel comfortable taking it and not being able to feel LO move.  

However here I sit at 1 am with a back scratcher itching the crap out of my feet. I am miserable.  This sucks.  I don't believe that my liver levels are still normal, it feels like it did when I first got diagnosed.

    I don't know if this would help, but have you tried any home remedies?  Maybe an oatmeal bath?  I know that helps with itching if you have chick. pox or something.  You could try that just to get some relief and then I would call my doctor.  You are allowed to advocate for yourself and if it feels like something's not right, just talk to them.

    I hope you feel better soon!
