I am 68 years old. In the mid 1980's, I owned forest property in the Catskill
Mountains of NY. I walked the property daily, in shorts, t-shirts, and sneakers. I also
hunted the property, and others, for deer, with locals who were avid hunters, and
property owners. One day I noticed an erythema migrans "bulls-eye" on my left
forearm. Because it was shown in posters in local town stores, I went to the
hospital, and was given a course of Keflex. That did not work. Had I been given
doxycycline, I may have had + results. It has come and gone, but now, 30+ years
later, it has become very difficult to cope with. No one ever deals with it correctly,
and support would be welcomed. I just read some articles on loratadine's effects on
lyme, and would like advice. Thanks to all who support, or communicate.

Can you answer these questions?

I've had PBC for 24 years, but am experiencing itching for the first time.
Loratadine10 mg seems to help for about 12 hours, although it says to take only
1x/day. Does anyone have a similar experience or advice? Thanks!

I am concerned about taking the Nexium while taking Sprycel. I would not take
them at same time but hours apart. Anyone else taking both these meds and do you
have any interaction from them?
