Success with PUPPS

The winning combination seems to be:

• a very hot shower (thanks, Teresa, for the suggestion!)
• with Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap
• followed up with Burt's Bees Mama Bee Nourishing Body Oil while still wet
• slather on some Sarna lotion
• additionally, I'm taking dandelion and nettle tinctures twice daily, which may be doing some good as well.
  

And voila! I'm good for about 8-10 hours! Generally I do have a period of itchiness in the evening, but Sarna or Tea Tree Oil + the exercise ball pump blowing air on my belly seem to do the trick.

Yes, T.J. pumps air onto my belly to help me be less itchy. It's like the pregnancy equivalent to feeding me frozen grapes, I think!
