    Default Itchy hands and feet!

    I got sleeved in January and have been taking my vitamins daily. My feet and hands have started itching like crazy so I quit taking them thinking they may have caused this. The itching problem is still going on. Has anybody this issue?

    I'm allergic to Alleve and get that exact reaction when I take it. Have you taken any new medication recently? New laundry soap? First time trying a certain food?

    No none of that. That's why it so odd.

    I used to get a little rash after working out if I sweat for quite a long while after being sleeved. It was tiny itchy bumps. It lasted probably about a year or so. It's been a while since that happened. I honestly think it was somehow sleeve related. I would talk to my primary care to rule out any other cause, though. I did not do that because it wasn't unbearable and the rash would go away within an hour or so.

    If you've been taking your vitamins regularly since January I don't think it would be them suddenly causing itching now, Its worth going to see your PCP to discuss it and perhaps check your liver as some liver issues can cause itchy hands and feet. Go check it out with the doc.

    I have had my blood work done and my liver count was good.

    If it doesn't clear up see your doctor. It is odd. Doesn't sound like vitamins.

    I had an itchy rash on my stomach, but it was shortly after surgery, not 10 months out.
