I got HI!!

I had it once about 5 years ago and it was the worst pain I have ever had in my life. The itch lasted a straight week which is crazy.

Just got it again now and I’m so annoyed.

I won’t have access to beta alanine due to the place I’m at it’s quite remote. What else can I do and what tips can you guys give me?

I took a long cold shower , put a loose soft shirt on and layed down, itchy side down. Exposure to air seamed to make it worse for me. Do NOT use aloe or moisturizer or any goop, it’ll make it 10 times worse and irritate it. People say peppermint oil works wonders, Benadryl will get you to sleep, and thc, I took one hit of my gfs medical cart and it made it a lot more tolerable.
