    Oh geez, what a rotten day. I hope the lab work comes back quickly so you have some answers. I seriously do not think you have PUPPS (cause, you know, I studied medicine on the internet ) since you don't have a rash. Hang in there mama.

    Just PM'd you....

    I can't believe it's PUPPS either....just doesn't make sense. One of the residents said that the itch could show up and then the rash later, but I'm like it's been four-five days still no rash? Plus the whole worse at night thing?

    Thanks for everyone's help and P&PTs!

    The itching is DEFINITELY better last night and today. I didn't take the meds last night but was able to sleep pretty well. (exhausted from all that "resting" at the hospital).

    Update: My midwives and doctors are "discussing" the possibility of whether I actually had pre-eclampsia or if it was indeed cholestasis....apparently my recovery looks more like cholestasis? I guess it doesn't matter at this point but it would be nice to know for sure.

    I was diagnosed with PUPPS at 5 weeks. It's been awful. Zyrtec and Benadryl don't help. I have been using tar soap, short lukewarm showers and aloe. It started with a rash on tops of my hands and red blotchy spots on my chest. Then progressed to welts on y inner elbows, behind my knees and on my inner calves. When I get to second trimester they will try presidone. Once the placenta for its a barrier against drugs...
