The power of Benadryl
Since having the Steri-Strips removed from my incisions, they’ve been very itchy. A quick bit of googling led to suggestions of using antihistamines to control the itching. Also, considering that I’ve had trouble sleeping through the night, what a better idea than Benadryl? Ever since I’ve been home from the hospital, I’ve been waking up between 3:30 and 3:45 AM like clockwork. Last night, I took a Benadryl prior to bed and though I did wake up a few times, I fell back asleep almost immediately. Overall, I had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in weeks.
