Hi girls, thanks for your posts. I too thought it may have been drug related as I'd recently started taking Glucosamine and thought it may be a reaction, however the specialist said it's very bad eczema. He went on to say it can be linked to chemically induced menopause (chemo) which is exactly what happened to me. I'm on prednisolone, liberal applications of Elocon cream and a phenergan at night for itching and to help sleep. I gotta say, for an over the counter drug phenergan does a wonderful job for sleeping. So in the big picture it's all good. x
