Normal itching?

Question

I know that itchy feet and hands are a sign of cholestasis but I’m having itchiness almost all over: my back, my face, arms, a little bit on the backs of my hands and rarely my feet. Should I be worried?  I thought that it was maybe a new allergy to some food (maybe margarine) but it’s been 5 days since I ate it and it’s not improving. I’m 33 weeks.

Answer

Have your doctor test you. It’s a simple blood test. I don’t itch anymore on my feet and hands, but itch everywhere else. I do have cholestasis. Better safe than sorry.

Answer

Get your doctor to test you, I’m having the same symptoms but my lab came back normal but I’m demanding to be tested every week, symptoms can be present 2 weeks before you labs are elevated, if you keep having itching if you get good results keengetting tested

Answer

Definitely have doctor test you. I’ve been having itching everywhere for weeks. Hands, feet, arms, legs, face, etc. At night and during the day. At 32 weeks, it was at a 3 so standard at my dr office. At 34 it was 6 so slightly elevated. Will test again at 36 weeks. I’m on urisol (I think that’s the name) now for the itching. But I’m being induced at 37 due to other health concerns.
