Try taking an antihistamine hun. The itching is a good sign, it's everything knitting itself back together! X

Pop into your supermarket and buy own brand, dont fork out on piroten or clariten. You can get the same ingredients for a fraction of the price. Cetirizine can make you drowsy, and the non-drowsy is Loratadine (serial hayfever sufferer!!). It'll help loads. Also try with the icepacks on the tops of your boobs, never on the incisions.

Feel better love :)

It was icepacks too that saw me through all of the nerve sensations. Never put ice near your incisions though. Just placed over the tops of your boobs it will help make the 'implant' cold and this in turn seems to relieve the nerve sensations. Xx
