You antibiotics videos are excellent, yet about 12yrs old now. Would be helpful to have an updated version, to add any recent changes. Thanks!

[@StrongMed]

Thanks! I know they need to be updated. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time. =(

Fantastic video! Do you have any preferred resources you use when coming up with the diagnostic framework and diagnostic algorithm?

[@StrongMed]

Thanks for the comment! For each video in this series, I rely most on a combination of the relevant UpToDate article(s), 2-3 review papers on the topic, and my own experience (i.e. the framework/schema that I have found helpful to think about the symptom in practice). And I'll search the literature for additional papers if there is a specific question I need to address (e.g. most common etiology of a particular symptom, performance characteristics of two test options, etc...)

What about Non aquagenic Pruritus in PV patients? I am a 6 year PV patient with 10-15 % aquagenic Pruritus and 80-90% Non aquagenic ie between 15 and 25 days per month enduring severe discomfort not associated with water (or any liquid). Your advice would be most helpful as no one talks about this.

I have pruritus in my entire body I take antihistamines everyday. Do you think it can be related to my anxiety disorder ? Ps I take fluoexetine 20 MG daily !

[@StrongMed]

I'm very sorry, I can't offer specific, individualized medical advice here. I recommend speaking with your physician regarding your symptoms.

[@hellejorgensen-lj3hj]

I need you as my doctor! Are you in Canada by any chance?

[@StrongMed]

No, I'm sorry. I'm in California.

[@hellejorgensen-lj3hj]

Thanks for responding, I am getting no where with my doctors. I have hot flashes day and night with stomach pain. Itchy skin with sand coming from skin. I have been told I had fatty liver 10 years ago. I think this all went sideways for me spending hours (4) in my pool on top of having RA. Any advice I would be very grateful!

Interesting but, We dont need to know all this - just how to stop the itching.
