oh feel ur pain....
I had it bad one time...
The Dr. gave me shots, 2 rounds of Zithyromycin, and told me to take 50 mg of Benedyrl around the clock every 4 hrs... I didnt need to wake to take the meds in teh night but if I was awake.. take it. Yep.. I was sleepy and dopey for a few days but then my body adjusted and I finially got rid of the nasty itch....
Oh yes, they told me to wear only cotten and to wear shorts as much as possible to give it itch as much air as possible to help it dry
