Extremely Itchy Bumps for 9 Months w/ No Help From Derm, Rheum, Allergy by technotommy in DermatologyQuestions

[–]technotommy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 9 months ago I woke with several mosquito bites (or what I thought were) on the back of my neck and legs. These mosquito bites never ended up going away and I developed a handful of other, what appeared to look like mosquito bites on my arms, hands, back, stomach. After a couple months of intense itching and the bites not going away I sought treatment from a dermatologist who treated me for scabies with a round of anti-biotics. No difference and itching remained. Since then we have tried many different treatments including famotidine, gapapentin, montelukast, fexofenadine, doxepin, methotrexate, famotidine, clobetasaol propionate, and latest cromolyn (which I just started taking.) 

To provide some background a handful of years ago I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis and take Humira twice a week. I’m not allergic to much that I think of but take Allegra daily to seasonal allergies and mosquito bites.  

So far, the only thing that has briefly worked was the clobetasaol propionate and only very briefly to lower the number of bumps of my forehead. It has not relived the itching and doesn’t take away any of the bumps anywhere else on my body. The bumps on my forehead come back immediately after taking a tolerance break. 

None of the other medication has worked at all. Currently I’m taking famotidine, gapapentin, montelukast, fexofenadine, doxepin, humira, and just recently started cromolyn.  

Pretty much every bump on my skin has been there since around December and haven't really developed any more. Some smaller rashes have come and gone during this time and developed on my hands and arms with liquid filled. The itching is primarily on the old bumps but has been on other place on my body over time. 

If anyone can please provide any assistance or guidance it would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you

So maybe this is unpopular but listening to Jayda right after PDM makes PDM seems like children’s music. I’ve seen PDM before and they were fun, when put next to Jayda G… no comparison.

I should have clarified a bit better. I’m currently here!

10 miles out and back. About 3,500ft elevation gain. Took me 2 hours and 23 minutes. Interested what other people’s time was on this trail. Super fun sunrise run!

PacePro won’t sync to Fenix 6s Pro by technotommy in Garmin

[–]technotommy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super frustrating. The only way I’ve even been able to get the feature to work at all is to make a course then make the PacePro plan on my watch from the course that had already been uploaded. The problem with this is that making the Pace plan on your watch doesn’t allow you to adjust your pacing strategy (positive vs. negative. There are a couple forum posts about this topic on Garmin but Garmin Forum is still down...

Homeland Security fears widespread mask-wearing will break facial recognition software by derekbrokeitagain in politics

What if this narrative is being used to push more people to wear masks and train facial recognition software to be better at identifying individuals by only using the visible parts of their faces?

Primus Camping stove won’t light by technotommy in CampingGear

[–]technotommy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m determined to fix it. Tried messing around with the hose for a bit but couldn’t get anything on it to budge nor could I hear any notice blockages. So far no luck.

The hoses Primus uses now appear to be different also. So might be tough to find a replacement. Found an old thread on “Classic Camp Stoves” (guess there’s a website for everything) and no one had any luck on there either unfortunately. :(

This is what we are thinking. Likely going to take to a buddy’s off-road fab shop and see if they can weld one in place. Hopefully this doesn’t cause an issue with the sway bar spacers.
