Hi, you are “face to face with Shell”.<\/span><\/p>\nHOW TO DEAL WITH “THE ITCH”<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nAFTER BEING BURNED<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nPlease watch the video below and\/or read on:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I’m sure I will touch on this subject on another page\/video but felt that it needed a page\/video of its own, as it is such a HUGE part of the after burn healing process…well, it was for me.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fifty percent of my body was burned in a gas explosion; I received first through to fourth degree burns, therefore, there was a large area to heal…and with healing comes…<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">THE ITCH…aaaarrrrrgggghhhhhhhh!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sometimes I used to ask myself, would I rather have pain than the itch?\u00a0 Some days, yeah, I truly would have taken the pain; the itch was just driving me mad!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I remember one of my dad’s friends explaining “the itch” to me while I was still in the Burns Unit<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">.\u00a0 I was complaining about the constant discomfort from it and he said:\u00a0 “Just like any wound, when it heals, it starts to itch”.\u00a0 I was always told as a child, if I had fallen and cut myself, and the wound was itching:\u00a0 “That’s it getting better”, and I bore this in mind also.\u00a0 It made me feel kind of “normal”, if that makes sense?\u00a0 Comparing my injuries to a day-to-day\/run of the mill type of injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When I was in the Burns Unit I couldn’t “get” to the itch at all, even if I wanted to, as I was like a mummy, totally covered in bandages from head to toe<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">.\u00a0 I remember my dad doing “hand chops” up and down my legs because they were so itchy.\u00a0 I had huge thick bandages on, therefore, he was not harming any areas (plus the thick jeans that I was wearing the day of the explosion saved my legs from being badly burned; my arms, hands, face, and neck bore the brunt of the explosion).\u00a0 My poor dad though, he would be sweating and I would be shouting:\u00a0 “Again dad, again”…lol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I suppose it didn’t help that Bangour Burns Unit, where I was taken to receive treatment after being flown home from Spain, where the explosion happened, was quite old.\u00a0 There was no air conditioning in the unit and 1984 was one of the hottest summers for a long time (a rare thing in Scotland…lol).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I was prescribed antihistamines whilst I was in hospital and after I was discharged; these did help to an extent (I used to call them my “itchy tablets”…lol).\u00a0 I was given them throughout the day and then a slightly higher dose at night, the night dose did make me a bit sleepy, which helped me to get some rest, as the itch used to keep me awake in the early days.\u00a0 Different antihistamines were tried until the best one for me was found; so hang in there, if the first ones that you try do not work as well for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">I have recently been doing more research on “the itch” and I was reading that a burn itch is not caused by histamines at all…therefore, why was I given antihistamines?\u00a0 I know “medicine” has advanced a great deal since I was burned.\u00a0 Please click<\/span><\/strong> <strong><span style=\"color: #33cccc;\"><a style=\"color: #33cccc;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.medstarwashington.org\/2017\/03\/16\/post-burn-itching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">if you want to read the article I found.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><em>Also, I recently attended the “Dan’s Fund For Burns” weekend in Oxford (September 2019).\u00a0 During the weekend a few professionals spoke to us;
