Hello to all. I am all broke out in a rash chest to ankles. Went to the doctor on Friday and he had no idea why I broke out in a rash after my hot bath. The itching is horrible. Zyrtek helps for a little while. The only thing i have found to help the itch is calamine lotion. I am allergic to all steroids and yes even the cream the rash got worse in the spot i tried it on as the dr. suggested. All I had was 1 cup of Liptons green tea superfruit with purple acai and blueberry. I am not allergic to blueberries. I do think that anything with sugar in it makes the itching worse and makes it spread including pop. And any type of heat makes the itch worse and also makes it spread. All I can do is wait it out and take my allery pill in the mornings.

I was taking pills n drinking liquid in the months prior to diagnosis. I still think it contributed to the breakdown. I was looking for nrg. After 4 mos on it I totally decompensated. No rash, but my hematologist said stop immediately. Hmm jus my story..

I started taking the acai berry pill about a week ago. I took it for a few days and noticed that I started getting what looked like poison on my hands. The next day I noticed it was spreading. I now have it on my lips. Last night I noticed that my genitals started itching. Has anyone ever had this? It's driving me insane!

There's a juice brand called Naked that makes really good fruit smoothies.  One of my favorite flavors is Acai Machine (178 acai berries in every bottle).  They're sold in my college cafeteria, are popular (esp. that flavor), and no one I know has ever had any kind of allergic reaction to them.
